Project Focus: Energy planning in SME clusters (Shannon Development & Limerick/Clare Energy Agency)

Shannon Development, along with the Limerick/Clare Energy Agency, are lead partners in an 8 country Intelligent Energy Europe project entitled 'RegCEP- Regional Clusters in Energy Planning' which aims to integrate energy and regional policy. This is to be achieved through a focused promotion of improved energy planning and management practices among SMEs in key regional economic sectors and specific clusters, including industrial parks such as the Shannon Industrial Zone.

The project will address renewable energy as well as energy efficiency. It will take stock of current industrial performance and targets in these fields (audit and analysis) at each site; elaborate a set of cluster-specific energy plans; develop specifications for undertaking pilot projects to implement key elements of these strategies; devise a transnational tool-kit arising from the partners' collective experience; and dissemination findings to regional target groups and internationally.
