The ENERGY FOR MAYORS project was very successful in supporting the Covenant of
Mayors initiative and its key actors, as well as in contributing to the
sustainable energy development on the local level. Below you may learn more
about the achievements that we’re especially proud of:

INCREASING THE CAPACITY OF COVENANT COORDINATORS AND SUPPORTERS ACROSS EUROPE

Covenant Coordinators and Supporter play a vital role in the CoM implementation
– assisting municipalities in the SEAP process. Yet, they themselves need
guidance and resources to be successful in this task. The ENERGY FOR MAYORS – as
the first IEE project – strengthened CC&CS and increased their capacity inter
alia through organization of a series of focused training seminars and
workshops, development of a Support Package, exchange of experience and
networking.

DEVELOPMENT OF A USER-FRIENDLY TOOLBOX OF METHODOLOGIES ON CLIMATE AND ENERGY

The Toolbox was developed in order to centralize available tools, methods and
guidance materials on sustainable energy planning and implementation. It is a
user-friendly, multi-language online tool that helps both the CC&CS and the
local authorities in the SEAP process. It already includes over 1 000 resources
and the number is still growing thanks to the engagement of registered users who
can add new resources to the Toolbox and evaluate existing ones. The success of
the Toolbox can be demonstrated by the numbers – there are over 200 registered
users and nearly 5 000 unique visitors visited the Toolbox since December 2012.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE FIRST “JOINT SEAP” IN EUROPE

The “Valli del S.O.L” group of municipalities located West from Genova (IT)
joined forces and developed first “Joint SEAP” in Europe. The municipalities,
which have less than 5 000 inhabitants each, soon realized that they couldn’t
fulfill the CoM commitments easily and effectively without pooling resources.
Therefore, they decided to take advantage of well established cooperation and
common territorial identity and to developed a common SEAP with the shared CO2
reduction target and a set common actions. The common actions cover buildings,
public lighting, mobility, use of RES and communication and planning. Except for
them, each municipality included in the SEAP some individual actions that are
bound to local context.

The “Joint SEAP” was developed with the technical support of the Province of
Genova, coordinator of the ENERGY FOR MAYORS project.

DEVELOPMENT OF A SEAP TOGETHER WITH AN ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM TO BENEFIT FROM
THE SYNERGIES BETWEEN THE TWO TOOLS

The ENERGY FOR MAYORS tested the possibility of developing a SEAP together with
an Energy Management System following new ISO 50001 standard. SEAPs integrated
with EnMS were developed in 8 pilot municipalities who benefited from the
synergies between these two important tools. The activity helped to set up a
standard for a monitoring system for SEAPs and contributed to the structuring of
internal and external communication. It resulted in a very interesting guidebook
that can help other municipalities to take advantage of this experience and
adopt a similar approach.

HELPING OVER 80 COVENANT SIGNATORIES TO MEET THEIR GOALS

The ENERGY FOR MAYORS supported over 80 municipalities from different European
countries in the development and implementation of a SEAP and in engaging
citizens and local stakeholders in the process. These were mostly small and
medium municipalities that lacked capacity and resources to successfully carry
out the SEAP process on their own. Many more local authorities took part in the
training events and exchange of experience organized by the project partners and
increased their capacity in the fields of sustainable energy planning and
implementation

IMPLEMENTATION OF VARIOUS INTERESTING AND REPLICABLE INVESTMENTS AIMING AT CO2
REDUCTION

Project partners also supported municipalities involved in the project in the
implementation of selected actions envisaged in their Sustainable Energy Action
Plans. Many interesting investments were implemented that may be a source of
inspiration for other European local authorities engaged in climate protection
and energy saving. Below are described some most interesting examples:

 1. Energy Efficient Public Lighting in Vignola (Italy)
    The project, financed through ESCO scheme and supported by ELENA, foresaw
    the renewal of the existing public lighting network to make it more energy
    efficient. The project was implemented in the early 2013 and included also
    installation of smart (remote sensed) poles, allowing to activate further
    public services such as wi-fi or video-check of streets and buildings. Below
    are the figures well summarising the results:
    1. Final investment by the awarded ESCO: 2.7 Mio Euro
    2. Lighting points renewed: 2961
    3. Energy savings: 249 GWh/year
    4. CO2 savings: 154 tCO2 eq
    5. Cost savings: 60%
       
       
 2. Energy retrofitting of 4 social housing blocks in Agia Varvara (Greece)
    The project GREEN NEIGHBOURHOOD addressed the renovation of four
    multi-family buildings constructed in 1964. These consist of four floors
    each, with an area of 1200 m2 per building and seventy two apartments in
    total. The pilot project envisaged an upgrade of the building envelope and
    electromechanical installations, plus the integration of renewable energy
    technologies. The aim was to cover the energy needs by renewable energy as
    far as possible. Smart metering was also installed to control and monitor
    performance. Estimated CO2 savings reach 451,2 tonnes of CO2  per year.
    
    
 3. Biomass district heating system in Ozajl (Croatia)
    The project of a biomass district heating system for the center of the City
    of Ozalj includes the installation of 800 kW biomass boiler and construction
    of centralized thermal network to connect consumers to the system. Heat
    produced from the biomass system is estimated at peak hours of 2000 hours
    per year and amounts to 1 600 MWh. Estimated CO2 savings reach 413,8 tonnes
    of CO2  per year
    
    
 4. Model RES installation in Niepołomice (Poland)
    Niepołomice installed pilot RES system, using modern and innovative
    technologies, in the building of the Polish Gymnastic Society “Falcon”. The
    system includes: (1) solar installation based on hybrid solar modules (known
    also as PVT modules) which produce both thermal energy and electricity, (2)
    installation for storing produced energy in the form of hydrogen. Whenever
    needed, the hydrogen is converted back into electricity in a fuel cell
    installed in the building.
    Installation of pilot RES system was a demonstration project aiming at the
    promotion of RES use among the citizens, as well as at testing innovative
    technologies that increase efficiency of RES production.

INVOLVING CITIZENS IN LOCAL ENERGY ACTIONS

The ENERGY FOR MAYORS project also successfully involved citizens and local
stakeholders in the development and implementation of local Sustainable Energy
Action Plans, as well as in other energy-related initiatives implemented by
their local authorities. This was accomplished through the organization of a
series of energy forums and energy days targeting different groups of
stakeholders. Some project partners went even further! For example, the City of
Zagreb each year organized whole Energy Week with many different events aiming
at the promotion of energy saving and RES use. Very interesting was also the
competition “My Green World” organized for the students by ECQ, Bugarian partner
of the project. During the competition students had to make pictures, drawings,
models or write a couple of lines related to energy efficiency, renewable energy
sources and green energy. Every participant received a  t-shirt with the project
logo and symbols of different RES – water, sun and wind -  as well as the
certificate. The winners in different categories received also certificates of
achievements.
