  2. About LAREAs • Local and regional energy agencies (LAREAs) support the introduction of good energy management practices, advocate the concept of sustainability, provide information and guidance, and offer a number of other local services based on specific local energy needs. • They are set up by local or regional authorities for the promotion of energy efficiency and renewable energy sources • Most of them have been co-financed by the Intelligent Energy - Europe Programme, as well as the SAVE I and SAVE II Programmes • Legal Status: NGO • The activity of the agencies is financially supported by the EC for a period of 3 years • After the 3 years – the sustainability of the agencies can be provided only by public funding based on a long-term mandate from the public authority

  3. Added Value of LAREAs • For local energy users: provision of independent information and advice • For public authorities: development, implementation and monitoring of energy strategies and action plans, implementation of concrete energy efficiency projects, development of RES projects, advice and training on energy policies and legislation • For commercial actors: new market opportunities for energy efficiency and RES installations, fostering of investments • For teachers and students: training and educational programmes, assistance for increased energy efficiency of school buildings • For bank institutions: implementation of loan schemes for investments in EE & RES

  4. In EUROPE: 475 agencies

  5. In ROMANIA: 10 agencies Agentia Locala pt. Gestionarea Eficienta a Problematicii Eg. si Mediului - ALGEPEM Iasi (2000); AgentiapentruManagementulEnergieisiProtectiaMediului- ABMEEBrasov (2003); Serviciul Municipal de Management al Energiei- SPMEHarghita (2003). Agentia pentru Managementul Energiei Sighisoara – AMES (2006) AgentiaLocalapentruEficientaEnergeticasiMediuVaslui - ALEEM (2007) Agentia pentru Eficienta Energetica si Protectia Mediului Bucuresti - AEEPM (2007) Agentia Locala a EnergieiALBA – ALEA (2008) Agentia de Management Energetic Maramures – AMEMM (2009) Agenţia pentru Eficienţă Energetică şi Energii Regenerabile Ploieşti - AE3R (2009) Asociatia pentru Managementul Energiei Timis – AMET (2011)

  6. Summary • Maramures County Council created, with the support of Intelligent Energy Europe, a regional energy management agency as an opportunity and necessity for the promotion of energy efficiency and renewable energy sources at county level • Total Budget: 317.670 Euro, of which: • EU Grant: 238.252 Euro (75%) • County Council: 79.418 Euro (25%) • Legal Status: NGO • Target Groups: • Local Authorities • Population • SME’s • Teachers, students • Home owner associations

  7. Partners Founding Partners: Maramures County Council Baia Mare Municipality Maramures County Office for Consumer Protection Development Centre for Small and Medium Size Enterprises Foundation S.C. Electricity Distribution & Supply Subsidiary Baia Mare Development Center for Renewable Energies North University of Baia Mare EcoLogic Association S.C. Urbis Transport Local S.A. National Administration Romanian Waters Somes – Tisa Department Maramures County Inspectorate of Education Supporting Partners: Environmental Protection Agency of Maramures Romanian Agency for Energy Conservation

  8. Activities • Development of an Energy Strategy and Action plan • Creation of a GHG observatory • Development of regional policies for greenhouse gas mitigation • Actions leading to the construction of RES installations • Actions to increase energy performance of buildings • Energy and climate change awareness campaigns targeted at the general public, businesses or schools • Provisionof advice on energy and carbon saving measures, energy legislation, funding programmes and opportunities • Transfer of information, experience, good practices, and know-how with energy related organisations • Training of the Agency staff

  9. Activities Peer review in Maramures 1-4 September 2009 Objective: obtain advice based on the review of the local energy context for the development of a regional energy strategy • Day 1: Seminar with all relevant stakeholders • Day 2: Field visit - hydropower potential • Day 3: Field visit - forestry biomass potential • Day 4: Internal discussions on report preparation Result: peer review report available at: www.amemm.ro

  10. Activities Energy Planning Regional level • Database of energy indicators • Regional Energy Master Plan Electricity consumption in 2009 by type of consumer Local level • SEAP for Baia Mare Municipality (under Covenant of Mayors)

  11. Colaboration with CEPRONEF Maramures Energy Master Plan The objective of achieving the Energy Masterplan was inventorying energy consumption and energy potential of renewable energy sources (solar, hydro, wind, biomass) available in each locality of Maramures county to assess the possibilities of performing investment in renewable energy for public purposes. Analysis of annual energy consumption throughout Maramureş county was done in collaboration with all municipalities, towns and villages (2 municipalities, 11 cities şi 63 de communes). Based on centralized utility bills recorded in the databases of localities an energy datasheet was drawn for each commune or town and by aggregating these datathe entire county situation resulted.

  12. Activities Renewable Energy in Public Buildings Replacement of old heating system on natural gas with heat pumps and solar thermal collectors • Installed thermal power of heat pumps: 861.5 kW • Installed thermal power of solar collectors: 24.2 kW • Energy consumption reduction: 57.34% • Total investment: 150 000 Euro

  13. Colaboration with CEPRONEF Maramures County Council Technical configuration: Productie: Installed power: 0,173 MW Energy production: 185 MWh/an(PV-GIS ) Investment : 252.100 €

  14. Activities Creation of a Sustainable Energy Education - Demonstration Center Rehabilitation of the Petofi House to the “near zero energy building”, as per DIRECTIVE 2010/31/ECon energy performance of buildings • Insulation measures • Replacement of windows • Installation of an efficient lighting system • Installation of a heat pump system for heating, ventilation and air conditioning • Electric power demand for heat pump will be supplied by PV panels and wind turbine • Hydrogen fuel cell • Devices displaying the produced energy as well as energy consumption and associated cost • Conference room, offices and rooms equipped with training and practical demonstration equipment for visitors

  15. Activities Energy awareness campaign “Saving energy we give life a chance” 1-5 June 2010 • Movie projection – over 1000 participants • Launching of the book “Mara “loves life” • Energy efficiency seminars • Bicycle contest • Video clip

  16. Activities Involvement in EU Projects MORE4NRG: The objective of MORE4NRG is to strengthen the delivery of regional strategies for RES and energy efficiency by exchanging best practices on sustainable energy policies and jointly developing an integrated monitoring tool for measuring the effect of regional sustainable energy strategies. CLIMACT: the objective of the project is to improve the capacity of regions to build and apply greenhouse gases reduction policies, in order to contribute to climate protection. EUROPEAN EXCHANGE SCHOOL: the objective of the project is to intensify and deepen the cooperation in socially sustainable way between educational institutions. INTER PARES:the main objective is to support Local Authorities in implementing and developing policies and strategies on RES-e in the participating countries.

  17. Results • Energy planning at urban and regional level • Inventory of energy consumption and production • Increased share of renewable energy at county level • More energy efficient buildings • Reduction of energy consumption and carbon emissions • More energy educated citizens and institutions • Increased energy & climate change awareness • Networking and co-operations • Potential success factors: strong support and interest from the local authorities, involvement of the public, namely the participation of citizens, teachers, students to the Agency’s activities • Difficulties that may be encountered: lack of initiative of the public authorities, lack of incentives for the people to stimulate investment in RES
