Business meeting with Italian companies in the field of RES and EE

IRENA – Istrian Regional ENergy Agency in cooperation with the municipality of Pesaro, through R-SEA (Sustainable Energy in the Adriatic Region: Knowledge to Invest) project, organized a business meeting with Italian companies dealing in energy efficiency and renewable energy.

We attended a meeting held in Pesaro (Italy) on 28.02.2013. to 02.03.2013.

SEA-R was proposed and approved under the public tender for projects of the programme IPA ADRIATIC Cross Border Cooperation 2007-2013, within a partnership of 7 partners (from Italy, Slovenia, Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia) and three associates (from Austria, Italy and Croatia). It officially started in march 2011 and will last 33 months, while it’s value is 1.960.338 EUR.

Why SEA-R? SEA-R’ purpose is to identify, promote and help implementation of three main sources from which sustainable energies can derive for Adriatic: SUN, SEA and KNOWLEDGE. Sun and Sea are distinguishing characteristics of the Adriatic region, which can be effectively and better exploited for friendly energies, which is not not sufficiently exploited yet. As socio-economic development of the territories involved in the so called “SEA-R area” implies an increasing energy demand, that regions must adopt more environmentally-friendly energy models and find ways  for effective financing.

The partnership’s general objective  will be the promotion of investment-oriented knowledge on sustainable and competitive energy patterns in the Adriatic regions (SEA-R area).
