Timeframe: 1 December 2024 – 30 April 2027
Involvement of ABEA: Sub-contractor to BSERC
Description
Article 25.6 of the recast Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) obliges the larger EU municipalities (> 45 000 inhabitants) to develop municipal heating and cooling (H&C) plans. Given the low level of readiness of Bulgaria, Croatia and Greece to implement this new obligation, the project aims to support them by:
- Providing local authorities with planning methodology, templates, and guidelines;
- Increasing the knowledge of local authorities; and
- Improving the H&C planning framework at national/local level.
ABEA has been sub-contracted by BSERC to carry out policy analyses and promote project outcomes.
