AREA 21 + action: Promoting Cooperative Processes for Integrated Energy Planning at a District Level
Welcome to the website of AREA 21 + action! This project is a follow-up of AREA 21, a transnational cooperation project that is jointly carried out by partner organisations from across the Baltic Sea Region. The project seeks to model energy efficient urban areas of the future, adopting collaborative stakeholder engagement processes in the strategic planning and implementation of energy solutions. To achieve this, the project enables public authorities, energy providers, property owners and citizens from cities around the Baltic Sea Region to run cooperative planning processes within Energy Improvement Districts.
