Local Sustainable Energy Action Plans template


The European Commission has unveiled an online interactive instrument to help Local Authorities to better manage their energy performance by turning good intentions into action. The Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAP) template and guidelines is intended to help cities and municipalities to bring together the relevant information for establishing their own baseline inventory of emissions, to structure their overall energy strategy, and to detail concrete measures foreseen in delivering upon objectives.

This is part of the further roll-out of the Covenant of Mayors initiative which now brings together over 700 European Local Authorities in a permanent network to make better use of energy and commit to reducing local CO2 emissions beyond the EU 20% by 2020 target. This is to be achieved by each signatory developing, adopting and implementing their own SEAP, which, thanks to the online template will be evaluable and readily usable for exchanges of experience.

The Covenant's signatories will soon be able to access flexible loans and financial engineering instruments under the newly created ELENA (European Local Energy Assistance) fund for projects contributing to the development of their respective SEAPs.
