The group regularly meets with European policy-makers to share cities’ needs and strengthen local level participation in EU decision-making.
The Board meets 3 times per year to take strategic political decisions and to discuss the general orientation of Energy Cities’ activities. It also ensures the sound financial management of the organisation.
Funding
Energy Cities is a non-profit city network. We operate with a near 100% public funding which allows us to demonstrate integrity towards our member cities and to keep intellectual independence in our work. We embrace transparency in all our activities, including our funding sources.
In 2018, our annual budget for our core activities reached, similar to previous years, 2 million Euros.
