ENERGY EFFICIENCY The first step and the
quickest and cheapest way to reduce
energy-related CO2 - is to use less energy, by
reducing and managing demand and improving the
efficiency of energy use. De-carbonizing energy
generation is the next step along the path to a
low-carbon economy

• POWER Theme 1 ENERGY EFFICIENCY
• Exploring ways of reducing the overall energy
• consumption of the partner regions through
• policy
• regulation
• promotion
• incentives
• Two subthemes.

5

• ENERGY EFFICIENCY Subtheme 1.1
• Development and delivery of Public Sector Energy
  Efficiency Strategies
• and Action Plans to support low-carbon economies
• Sharing best practice which can be delivered
  across partner regions..
• ENERGY EFFICIENCY Subtheme 1.2
• Public Sector Strategies, Programmes and
  Initiatives to improve the
• energy efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint
  of existing buildings,
• particularly the public housing stock
• Key focus on the problem of existing buildings
  which, in the UK, could
• represent 70 of the housing stock in 2050.

• Theme 2
• Renewable Energy
• Exploring ways of increasing the share of energy
  generated by renewables, including solar thermal
  solar photovoltaic energy high temperature
  thermal systems wind energy hydro power
  biomass production for electricity, heating and
  cooling sustainable biofuels district heating
  and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) schemes

8
Sub-theme 2.1 Large-scale deployment of
renewable energy schemes identifying and
developing transferable best practice in the
public sector to promote successful delivery and
to maximize benefit to the regional economy and
environment and society Aims To optimise
public sector interventions to achieve the
sustainable deployment of renewable energy
schemes on a large scale.

9
Sub-theme 2.2 Biomass Energy and Sustainable
Resource Management Identifying and sharing best
practice Aims To identify and promote an
integrated and sustainable approach to energy
from biomass, including energy crops, biomass

How to change behaviour? /1The Policy targets (1)

• Change the perception of the bad effects of
  climate change in every-day life and the
  consciousness that the local /individual effects
  come from the global effects which, in turn, are
  the total sum of local actions
• Change the reaction of the society actors
  (business sector, households, public sector) with
  the role of producing and selling -supply side -
  and buying and consuming - demand side.
• The public sector, the institutions, can play an
  additional role of leading these change by means
  of regulations, incentives, disincentives we
  need to enforce it, in order to move as quick as
  possible toward a low carbon economy

39
How to change behaviour? /1The Policy targets (2)

• Change the economic development model
• Need for a life style coherent with the changed
  international context as the financial crisis
  bring us to think more and more seriously about
  it

How to change behaviour? /3The toolbox (1)

• Information and education programmes and actions
  for consumers (including Public administrations
  trough e.g. Green Public Procurement) in order to
  committee a smart low-carbon productions (i.e
  agricultural products directly retailed by the
  farmers, Eco-labelled recycled products, energy
  saving house, alternative energies, etc,) and
  services (ì.e. eco-friendly transports, Energy
  services etc.)
• Success stories can generate durable network for
  exchanging experiences in different communities.
• Demand side approach

42
How to change behaviour? /3The toolbox (2)

• Training program and marketing campaign
  encouraging producers (incl. Public
  Administrations as service producers) of smart
  low-carbon productions (incl. energy saving
  buildings and alternative energies
  producers/sellers) and services (i.e.
  eco-friendly transports, energy services etc.) to
  offer them also by means of innovative Public
  Private partnerships.
• Success stories can generate durable networks
  for exchanging experiences on productive sectors
• Supply-side approach

43
How to change behaviour? /3The toolbox (3)

• Financial instruments (i.e. taxes, incentives,
  awards, etc.) or other planning tools (e.g.
  location of industrial parks) by Regional
  Authorities
• Screening, comparison and effectiveness at
  macro-level.
• Economy-wide approach

44
How to develop a POWER project on Behaviour
Change as the main topic? /1Issues to be
considered

• The good practice/examples to be shared (one or
  more actions as a local action plan)
• The cost/effectiveness in applying these actions
  compared with business as usual (without the
  intervention)
• The feasibility evaluation of the good practice
  application (mainly from the financial point of
  view, including the bureaucracy burden)
• The promotion/diffusion of results in order to
  positively affect the other aspects of the
  economy and the society.
