Description

What happens when local governments want to act on energy and climate—but lack staff, funding, or technical expertise? On 4 June, ManagEnergy and Plan4CET brought together regional energy agencies from Occitanie (France), Ústí (Czech Republic), and Modena (Italy) to answer that question with concrete solutions.

This webinar showed how energy agencies are not just supporting the transition—they are making it happen. Through tailored assistance, strategic coordination, and deep knowledge of local contexts, these agencies help municipalities plan and deliver clean energy projects. Whether it’s building energy communities, managing renovation programmes, or coordinating EU-funded initiatives, agencies are trusted, long-term partners for local governments.

Who spoke?
  • Filip Dumitriu, FEDARENE – on the political case for energy agencies in every EU region by 2030
  • Raphaëlle Vienot, AREC Occitanie – on a large regional “solutions factory” model
  • David Matuška, ECUK – on a one-stop-shop approach for Czech municipalities
  • Claudia Carani, AESS – on how local agencies (RENAEL) influence national energy planning
For whom?

Local and regional authorities, national policymakers, and anyone seeking scalable models to implement the Green Deal and Fit for 55 at territorial level.
