In 2011, 720 events took place in all parts of Europe, as well as Asia and North Africa in which energy efficiency and renewable energy was promoted, discussed and celebrated (see 2011 photos and videos). For 2012, authoroities in cooperation with other local actors start preparing local Energy Days.
Organising an Energy Day
An Energy Day is a non-for-profit event that promotes energy efficiency or renewable energy and takes place between 16 and 24 June 2012. Local or regional authorities as well as companies, organisations, public bodies, NGOs, research associations and others organise events such as open-doors day, educational workshops, exhibitions where companies present and demonstrate clean energy technologies to the public, fair, conference, media campaign, a concert, etc.
Organising an Energy Day means being part of a European campaign, getting enhanced visibility, media attention and additional European communication platforms, and strengthens a city’s profile. More information.
