The Gozo Regional Committee is organising the final conference of the Enerj project, in order to present to the general public the Joint Action Plan developed and the results achieved by this project.

The conference is free of charge and will be held in the Exhibition Hall of the Ministry for Gozo, St Francis Square, Victoria, on Wednesday, the 30th of October.

The GRC explained that the final conference will be combined with a training session focusing on these 6 main topics:

– Technology and Energy Efficiency;

– Financing instruments for Energy Efficiency;

– European and National Legislation on Energy Efficiency;

– Monitoring system for Energy Efficiency;

– Enerj platform.

The Mediterranean area is witnessing a fast growing energy demand and the GRC said that this is partly due to cooling and heating needs which with climate change will only increase and a rapid urban development.

It added that “if the Mediterranean wants to stay on track with implementing an inclusive and sustainable energy transition, energy efficiency in buildings, existing ones and new ones, shall be a central issue.”

Cities and Regions are key players in implementing energy efficiency policies in buildings, starting with their own ones and reaching out to the private sector, said the GRC.

“Most often the local course of energy transition has been laid down in a local energy plan, many of them in the framework of the Covenant of Mayors as a Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan (SEAP/SECAP).”

The conference will discuss the added value Joint Actions can produce and the role of Joint Actions Coordinators to bring together a group of actors in Malta.

Enerj is co-financed by the Interreg MED programme (ERDF Funds), further information are available at: https://enerj.interreg-med.eu
