Broadcasts The Fifth
ManagEnergy Annual Conference (February 2006)
The Sixth ManagEnergy Annual Conference on Local Energy Action takes place in Brussels from 30 January to 1 February 2007 as part of EUSEW: The First EU Sustainable Energy Week - entitled "Take a week to change tomorrow!".
At the initiative of the European Commission, under the umbrella of the Sustainable Energy Europe Campaign, the European institutions, the German Presidency of the Council, public authorities from Italy, the regions of Brussels and Murcia, the city of Grenoble, and actors most relevant to sustainable energy such as ManagEnergy, EREC, Energie-Cités, Energy Globe, CCRE have joined efforts to organise the first EU Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW) from 29 January to 4 February 2007.
The aim of the EU Sustainable Energy Week is to become the key annual reference point for sustainable energy issues in Europe. The EUSEW will feature major EU and international events covering most of the key topics related to sustainable energy development, so as to favour thematic integration and cross-fertilisation of the results of individual events, and to get the message over to the public that sustainable energy includes all sectors, working together with a common aim. The EUSEW is the first major initiative jointly undertaken by the European institutions and a wide array of private and public authorities. It will be held in Brussels and will include:
Brussels Region will also organise their 'Energy Days' on the following weekend. The week will also include major events taking place outside of Brussels, namely Les Assises de l'Energie in Grenoble, France, the Building Directive Platform in Dublin and the Spanish Sustainable Energy Week in Murcia, Spain. Yet more events are in the pipeline...
More information about the EU Sustainable Energy Week and a first opportunity to register for the different conferences and events to be held under its umbrella are now available on the EUSEW website (http://www.eusew.eu/).

| Event Organisers: | Committee of the Regions, Fedarene |
| Date: | Thursday 1 February 2007 |
| Time: | 14:00 - 18:00 |
| Event Title: | Financing local and regional sustainable energy solutions |
| Venue: | Committee of the Regions Building Bâtiment Jacques Delors, Rue Belliard 99-101, BE-1040 Brussels, Belgium |
| Description: | The Committee of the Regions, in cooperation with FEDARENE (European
Federation of Regional Energy and Environment Agencies), is organising
this seminar in the framework of the first EU Sustainable Energy Week.
Local and regional authorities are playing a key role in promoting renewable energy and energy efficiency, many of them giving substantial priority to sustainable energy solutions. However, the implementation of such energy concepts under their management may often fail due to a lack of money and/or knowledge of existing financial mechanisms. This seminar will focus on the financial instruments which local and regional authorities can use in order to achieve sustainable energy projects. The first part will comprise an overview of instruments offered by the EU and national levels, as well as by the private banking sector, for financing local and regional action in the field of sustainable energy. Several case studies of successful regional financing models will be presented during the second part. Key stakeholders from the public and private sector as well as European, local and regional policy makers will be given the opportunity to discuss new concepts and share knowledge on financial instruments which assist with the improvement of energy efficiency and development of renewable energy sources. |

how can we take advantage of market opportunities for more renewable
energy; how can we increase the uptake of new technologies for smart
energy use and of more energy intelligent habits; and how can we convert
