EnAHRgie
RRI and Renewable Energy - Conception of sustainable land use and energy supply at the municipal level
The project “EnAHRgie” is designed to develop methodologies, tools and guidelines to enable municipalities, local economies and civil society groups to launch a transition to a sustainable energy system.
The focus of the project is on the transition of energy production from major companies to more local production. The challenge is to include local people in order to develop the most robust, efficient, and sustainable solution while minimising impacts on the local population, economics, nature, and landscape.
EnAHRgie has a permanent group consisting of the main partners, who represent different stakeholder groups, and contacts of the inner group’s members. This allows cooperation between scientists and practitioners who work for administrative bodies, regional politicians and regional energy suppliers.
