Webinar - Remunicipalisation of energy services in Barcelona

Barcelona Energia is the public electricity distributor for the Barcelona Metropolitan Area. Its mission is to work towards the transition to a sustainable energy model by boosting self-sufficiency and favouring a locally produced 100% certified renewable energy supply. On 1 July 2018, Barcelona Energia began supplying electricity to buildings and facilities belonging to Barcelona City Council, in addition to 19 bodies and organisations of the municipal group of companies, a total of 3,908 service points.

Clara Rodríguez, Energy Advisor for the city councillor in charge of Water and Energy from the Barcelona’s Municipality and Iu Gallart, Head of Barcelona Energia, the Metropolitan Electricity Operator, will present the advantages and challenges associated with setting up a municipal energy company.
After the presentations, a debate will allow you to discuss directly with the speakers and the Energy Cities community.

Webinaire : Regard croisé franco-allemand sur les autoroutes vélos

Les autoroutes à vélo se répandent de plus en plus en France et en Allemagne. En France, Strasbourg, Grenoble, Nantes, Bordeaux sont pionnières dans ce domaine. En Allemagne, un gros projet est en cours notamment avec la mise en œuvre de la RS1 qui avec ses 101 kilomètres reliera prochainement Hamm à Duisburg.

Mais comment se passe la mise en œuvre d’une autoroute vélo ? Quels sont les enjeux qui se posent aux collectivités pour réussir un tel projet ?
Pour alimenter le débat et enrichir la discussion :
  Pierre-Marie GARNIER, Chef de projets Vélo - Ville et Eurométropole de Strasbourg
  Ulrich MALBURG, Chef du Département des transports des passagers interconnectés, de la mobilité locale, de la sécurité routière, Ministère des transports du Land de Rhénanie du Nord-Westphalie

Avec les témoignages d’Enora Fillâtre (Le Mené) et Margaux Essono (Loos-en-Gohelle)
Beaucoup de démarches locales de transition énergétique ont démarré par un voyage d’étude, en France ou à l’étranger, dans un territoire exemplaire. Comment faire visiter son territoire et donner envie aux visiteurs de se lancer eux aussi ? Comment s’organiser en interne ?
Le Mené et Loos-en-Gohelle reçoivent depuis plusieurs années de nombreux visiteurs, notamment des élus, pour faire connaître leur démarche et leurs projets locaux de transition écologiques. Les deux collectivités ont structuré des circuits de visite : la Route des énergies pour Le Mené, et le DD Tour pour Loos-en-Gohelle, en partenariat avec le CERDD.
A partir de leurs témoignages, nous vous proposons d’échanger sur votre propre expérience d’accueil, vos difficultés ou vos interrogations.

Remunicipalisation of the local energy supply

A 2-day workshop organised in the framework of the Interreg NWE HeatNet project
Inspired by remunicipalisation initiatives all over Europe, an increasing number of local authorities are expanding their role, no longer simply acting as planning authorities but becoming operational stakeholders and driving forces for the local energy transition. New integrated municipal companies are increasingly being set up.
This workshop, for elected members and municipal technicians, will present concrete examples from different EU countries to show how energy supply can be managed or owned by local authorities. It will provide a lot of space for small group work and peer-to-peer exchange.
