EESEnergy demand in Europe significantly surpasses its fossil fuel reserves and the EU is highly dependent on energy from outside the Union, importing 53% of all the energy it consumes. This leads to tackle various types of conflicts influencing secure fuel supply and prices.

In order to minimize this issue several measures have been implemented at the European Union and international levels through the European Foreign Affair and the European Economy interventions to secure a stable energy supply. Nevertheless, actions are to be taken to meet our energy demand locally with the Renewable Energy Sources we have at our disposal, through a bottom-up approach:

  • Implementing energy efficiency measures locally;
  • raising the awareness on energy-related topics to change public opinion and user behaviour through initiative undertaken by local and regional energy agencies and authorities, and;
  • fostering projects based on renewable energy sources on small and medium-scale level (such as installation of solar thermal and photovoltaics collectors on people’s homes or local district heating network) mainly at the local level.
