Cooperation
City administrations who welcome new ideas, whether they come from within or from external stakeholders, are more likely to be successful in moving the energy transition forward. Energy Cities share their knowledge, expertise and vision with citizens, businesses, peers and national policy-makers. We support partnerships, twinnings and trans-national cooperation on a broad range of energy matters.
