Registration open for the "Remunicipalisation of the local energy" Workshop on 28th February - 1st March 2019

Target audience: Elected members and municipal technicians

This workshop is co-organised by HeatNet NWE Project and mPOWER Project, which has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement number 785171.

Inspired by remunicipalisation initiatives all over Europe, an increasing number of local authorities are expanding their role, no longer simply acting as planning authorities but becoming operational stakeholders and driving forces for the local energy transition. New integrated municipal companies are increasingly being set up.

Allow yourself to be encouraged and inspired to become a proactive municipal actor. Take the opportunity to exchange your ideas with experienced municipal energy service providers and like-minded people.

We will present concrete examples from different EU countries to show how energy supply can be managed or owned by local authorities. We will provide a lot of space for small group work and peer-to-peer exchange.

You can download the agenda through the link below, which includes the description of the local energy companies presenting their experiences (Cadiz (Spain), Ettlingen (Germany), Heerlen (the Netherlands), Kalundborg (Denmark) and Nottingham (United-Kingdom)).

As explained in the agenda there is only space for 50 people so please register as soon as possible here.

The workshop is free of charge and will take place in Ettlingen (Germany) on 28th February and 1st March.

Please, register only when you are sure to be able to participate and inform the organisers as soon as possible if you decide not to attend. Once registered you will receive a formal confirmation within 2 weeks.

You can find practical information in the agenda (venue, transport, hotel). Please arrive the evening before, because we will start the workshop at 9.00 am.
