View Full Case Study

Summary

The IDAE has carried out, in the framework of the OPET contract for the period July 2001 to June 2002, a set of actions aimed at the deployment of energy technologies within the Spanish territory and at the increase of co-operation with other countries, notably in Latin America and Portugal, where strong links exist.

The actions have paid special attention to the issues that are under debate in Europe, namely the Green Paper on the security of energy supply, the proposal for Directive for the energy performance of buildings, the promotion of biomass and biofuels, etc.

Local actions, aimed at the reinforcement of links between Spanish energy agencies, were undertaken by means of three tools:

• design and distribution of periodical newsletters;
• organization of an annual conference of energy agencies;
• establishment of the basis towards the creation of a National Association of Spanish Energy Agencies.

This case study is one of 31 Good Practice Case Studies published by the OPET Network in 2005
