Description of geographical, economic and social aspects
Grabian Comunne is layed down in north-west part of Lushnja city. It is bordered by Comunnes of Terbuf, Golem, Kemishtaj dhe
Municipality of Divjaka. The most important feature of this Comunne is that this zone has high potential of production and it is near
the most important agriculture markets of the country. This Comunne has an arable land of 3200 ha, where most of it is field with
high fertility. Comunne of Grabian has a population about 7100 inhabitants and it has four villages included Grabian, which is the
center of the Comunne. Number of the families is about 1400-1600. About 90% of the families of the Grabian Comunne provide
the living by agriculture. The infrastructure of the zone which connect villages with the center of the Comunne and villages with
each-other is in the low conditions and need improvement.
Grabian Village has about 5050 inhabitants. The other villages are:
1. Ferras village. The distance from the center of the Comunne is 9 km and population is about 950 inhabitants.
2. Stravec village. The distance from the center of the Comunne is 11 Km and population is about 630 inhabitants.
3. Treura village. The distance from the center of the Comunne is 6.5 Km and population is about 470 inhabitants.
Main experiences in the field of energy and environmental sustainability
The households/public buildings energy sector is one of the important energy consuming sub sectors in Grabian Commune. Its
importance is highlighted by the fact that it consumes large quantities of electricity and fuel-wood, which has contributed to the
country’s current severe energy crisis. Up to 2000 the supply and demand for cooking and heating fuels (mainly wood) were more
or less in balance. After 2000, there was a large reduction of fuel-wood supplied by the forestry enterprises to urban area of this
region. As a result there was an over cutting of trees (much of which is illegal) and overloading the electricity distribution system.
Right now, the population in Grabian Commune has used in maximum fuel-wood for space heating and annually production from
the closest forests is about 6900 mst/year (2011) and the rate of cutting is as two time as higher than yearly sustainable growth
rate of forest. This has bring in a very bad situation: fuel-wood resources are very depleted year by year and according to some
simple calculations there are only five to seven years reserves and erosion is in a very high level. According to some preliminary
calculations this region has consumed (0.13-0.15) % of total primary energy sources of Albania. The energy consumption of the
household/public buildings sector is divided into four parts describe as much basic energy uses with widely differing characteristics: space heating, water heating, cooking, lighting and electrical appliances.
The Project is co-funded by the European Union, Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance
The experience of the Target Community within ALTERENERGY project
The expectations towards ALTERENERGY Project
The main building offices for organization 4 villages is located in Grabian. Technical staff of project with representatives of Grabian
commune prepared the criteria for selection of public building in 4 villages as follows:
– Scope for EE interventions: There are sites recently renovated where there is no or limited scope for EE interventions.
– Acceptance / Implementation risk
– Replicability and demonstration effect
– Social sensitivity related to the investment
The existing buildings and facilities of the public sector, upgrading/expansion/installation of new energy systems that would improve comfort level may be considered eligible, provided that they meet all other selection criteria.
In respect of criteria we have seleted in Grabian commune two public building elementary schools, and commune building in
Grabian for investments to improving Energy Efficiency.
Participation in the project Alterenergy represents an unrepeatable opportunity for growth of local environmental values, and,
more generally, the sustainability of the Commune Grabian, especially in view of the incentive of other productive sectors, such
as crafts and tourism. More indirectly attention to the issue of sustainability, will reduce or optimize household consumption, the
Commune administration and local production systems, promoting the attractiveness of the region with respect to the localization
of exogenous activity.Realization of a feasibility study in target community, dealing with specific actions targeted towards energy
saving and/or renewable energy production.
The interventions that will be/are being carried out through the ALTERENERGY Project
The actions that will be taken with participation in Alterenergy project will be those aimed to developing replicable models of
sustainable management of energy resources. The interventions aims at a greater percentage reduction in CO2 emissions. To
reduce the emissions of CO2 will be considered the benefit obtained by the Covenant of Comune and through the use of different
funds provided by the Alternenergy project. The village of Grabian intends to carry out feasibility studies on projects in the area of
sustainability regarding the production and the use of energy for actions not yet realized. The feasibility studies will also cover the
actions foreseen in the Action Plan for Sustainable Energy (SEAP) document. In addition, the administration intends to continue
the planning and management of integrated actions of energy savings and energy production from renewable sources, through a
participatory approach involving citizens and local economic operators. It also plans to implement a comparison with other systems of local control of energy consumption in public facilities.
The benefits and the results of the interventions for the improvement of energy efficiency and sustainability
The goal is to achieve, through the involvement of the private subscriber partnership project in the participation in the contract, the
full sustainability of the activities in the area.
The environmental benefits of the foreseen energy efficiency measures in reduction in air pollution in order to use of environmentally friendly materials as replacements for the existing ones (such as window frames, roof materials, floors, doors, light bulbs, etc).
The project “Implementation of Energy Efficiency Measures in Public School” does not pose any significant risks from an environmental or social point of view, but on the contrary, its successful implementation offers the prospect of substantial reductions in or
removal of negative impacts at the global and local level.

Terbufi Commune is located on the north-west part of Lushnja region, between national road and Municipality of Divjaka. The
territory of the Terbufi Commune is relatively wide and it has a considerable number of habitants. It is located in a zone with high
potential of production, especially for agriculture and it is near the agricultural markets of the country. This Commune is bordered
by Shkumbini river in the north, by Dushku Commune in the east, Grabjan Commune in the south and Commune of Divjaka in the
west. In the following are presented some pictures based on the site visits carried several times in Terbuf Commune to collected
necessary data.
Arable land in this Commune is about 4392 ha, most of it laid down in the fertile field area. Even with considerable slope, the land
has high qualities and natural fertility, which allows cultivation of a lot of plants. Most of the arable land is laid down in the field and
some is located in the hill. The villages of Terbuf, Upper Cerme, Cerme Proshke, Cerme Pasha, Cerme Shkumbin are laid down in
the field, while Shenepremte, Sulzotaj are located even in the hill territory. Number of inhabitants of the zone is 15630, organized
in 3503 families. About 80% of the families of the Terbufi Commune are involved in agriculture. Farming and constructions are also
another source of revenues for families in the zone.

The availability of energy supply in Terbuf is one of the key limitations on economic growth and safety power supply. Electricity
and other forms of energy are key inputs to support economic growth, income generation and job creation, industrial activities,
commerce, the service sector, communications and transport. During the transition period in Albania, the chronically shortage in
power supply has taken forms of sharp crisis especially during the winter periods in general and Terbuf commune in particular.
The households/public buildings energy sector is one of the important energy consuming sub sectors in Terbuf Commune. Its
importance is highlighted by the fact that it consumes large quantities of electricity and fuel-wood, which has contributed to the
country’s current severe energy crisis. Up to 2000 the supply and demand for cooking and heating fuels (mainly wood) were more
or less in balance.
Joining the program Alterenergy, the town expects to improve its environmental performance both from the point of view of energy
and the impact on the region. In this region are selected three public buildings of elementary schools for investment in improving
energy efficiency. Since the objective of Alterenergy on the territory of the Terbuf region is the development of initiatives to apply
and test the sustainable management and use of energy resources in small communities in the region, however the effects of the
activities that will be implemented will also lead to changes the action strategies of the Commune. The main building offices for
organization 7 villages is located in Terbuf. Technical staff of project with representatives of Terbufcommune prepared the criteria
for selection of public building in 7 villages as follows:
In respect of criteria we have seleted in Terbuf commune three elementary schools, Sulzotaj, Çerme Proshk and Çerme e Siperme
for investments to improving Energy Efficiency.
Indicative eligible EE projects include:
Interventions for the replacement or rehabilitation of existing or installation of new systems and equipment aiming at the improvement of energy efficiency, reduction of energy losses, reactive energy loads and peak power demand at the end use level, when
this is associated with economic and environmental benefits;
The actions that will be taken with participation in Alterenergy project will be those aimed to developing replicable models of sustainable management of energy resources. The interventions aims at a greater percentage reduction in CO2 emissions. To reduce
the emissions of CO2 will be considered the benefit obtained by the Covenant of Commune and through the use of different
funds provided by the Alternenergy project. The village of Terbuf intends to carry out feasibility studies on projects in the area of
sustainability regarding the production and the use of energy for actions not yet realized. The feasibility studies will also cover the
actions foreseen in the Action Plan for Sustainable Energy (SEAP) document. In addition, the administration intends to continue
the planning and management of integrated actions of energy savings and energy production from renewable sources, through a
participatory approach involving citizens and local economic operators. It also plans to implement a comparison with other systems of local control of energy consumption in public facilities.
By participating in the project Alterenergy the city administration expects to reap multiple benefits including, first of all an environmental improvement and secondly a greater economic development, that will allow a better quality of life.
With the implementation of actions in the field of renewable energy you can get many environmental benefits (less CO2 production,
low energy consumption) with positive consequences in economic terms. This will allow to use the resources that can be used in
the social field or for public works, otherwise impossible to schedule with the normal budgetary resources.

The acess road which connect villages of comunne with nearby villages are in not in very good conditions, which lead to difficulties
for movement (transportation) of people of this zone. The improvement of the infrastructure of the zone and especialy of the roads
will impact significantly in standart living of all people.
Infrastructure is a very important component for the development of a particular areas in general.The big changes that happened
these two last decades have brought a series of irregularities that have to do with partial damages up to rural road decay, input
supply irregularities and lack of a regular market for the agricultural and livestock products produced from the areas’ farmers, etc.
These entire factors burden into the everyday life of the residents, but in the same time lower significantly even the attraction from
the visitors.
Electricity is supplied to the region by a 110 kV transmission line that is far away from the power plants. This thing has brought in
a very low level of voltage in electricity supplied, which is down 170-190 V in household/public buildings sectors. All these arguments mean that the region needs higher energy consumption, in the household sector. The growing use of electrical appliances,
fuel-wood shortages and other related issues, such as access and prices, are worrying and can cause further future problems.
Due to lack of coherent data, the uncertainties about the actual level of fuel-wood own harvesting in the rural areas are growing.
This uncertainty severely influences any judgments, not only in relation to the level and structure of the households/public buildings
energy consumption but also in relation to the level and structure of the total energy supply for this region.
Energy consumption and demand in residential sector was carefully discussed due to its importance, first because of its contribution with over 30% of the total energy and secondly because of the very high consumption of electricity leading to a very difficult
supply situation with frequent interruptions. The most important energy commodities used in in homes of the commune:Balldre
is electricity (60-65%), light fuel oil (diesel) (0.5-1%) and LPG (10-12%) are the dominant fuels (over 72-74% of the total), whereas
wood has a role equal to (25-28%), with district heating and lignite almost at zero level.

The center of the commune is Balldren, approximately 5 km from the town of Lezha. The commune of Balldre is an area rich on
agricultural products.
The geographical position of the commune Balldre is very favorable and is located in the center of several transportation arteries,
serving as a linking poitnt for the noth-south and east-west movement. Thanks to its natural position, from the ancient times to the
present-day, the region of Balldre stands among the regions in the country endowed with strategic and natural values. Located
in the midst of the land and water resources, the region has riversand streams, water reserves, mountains and hills, which create
high levels of biodiversity. The relief in this region presents an emphatic contrast alternating between the sea, fields and mountains,
which are in close proximity.

The administrative headquarters of the Municipality Cajnice is located at 806 meters above sea level. Cajnice is situated in a valley
between the mountains Civci Brdo (1324 m), Cicelja (1281 m) and Orufica (1310 m). The Municipality is integrated around the
Janjina river valley. Forest is certainly the most important natural resource of the Municipality Cajnice. Under the forest and forest
land is 75% of the total area of the Municipality. Sub-mountain and mountain climate is represented. It is estimated that in the
urban area lives 52% of the total population. The decrease in population is a result of falling rates in natural population growth and
emigration. Natural growth in 2007 amounted to -3.8%.
Municipality Cajnice is small and underdeveloped Municipality and it has not significant experience in the field of energy and environmental sustainability.
Municipality Cajnice expecting to get technical assistance and support in development of sustainable energy on its own territory
through capacity building aactivities such are organisation on various trainings, workshops, through preparation of energy assesment studies, integrated plans, fesability studies business plans and implementation of demonstration action.
It is expected to get capacity building and implemented one demonstration action in the field of sustainable energy in accordance
with the results of the energy assessment studies that will be prepared through this project.
Through Alterenergy project Municipality will get adequate knowledge in the field of sustainable energy that will improve their
capacity to plan and manage integrated actions in the field of sustainable energy on its territory. Also, through this project within
Municipality one demonstration action will be implemented.

Igoumenitsa is located by the sea, is surrounded by mountains at the northwestern part of the Regional Unit of Thesprotia. It is
the capital city of the Regional Unit of Thesprotia. The economic activity is dominated by the tertiary sector. The most significant
activities are tourism and transportation.
Igoumenitsa is the second largest and active port in Greece, after the port of Piraeus in Attica. Igoumenitsa is also the gate to the
Egnatia Road which connects Igoumenitsa with the Turkish border, with connections to the other neighboring Balkan countries. It
is planned that the port of Igoumenitsa will not only be the gateway of Greece to Europe, but also the gateway of Europe with the
Balkans, the Black Sea and the Middle East through a combined sea and land transport route which will, in the future, include a
railway. Tourism presents also high activity, with many resorts around Igoumenitsa.
Igoumenitsa has participated, in the past years, in various Renewable Energy and Energy Saving projects. There is a healthy
market evolving around Photovoltaic systems on roofs. Through the Alterenergy project the municipal community of Igoumenitsa
will have a sustainable energy action plan deployed. Based on this knowledge the Municipality of Igoumenitsa will prepare a SEAP
and sign the covenant of mayors. The SEAP includes various interventions in the energy field. Some of the suggested interventions
are currently evaluated through prefeasibility studies and a pilot demonstrative action will take place at the building of the Regional
Unit of Thesprotia in Igoumenitsa. In parallel with these actions, an information campaign will also take place aiming at raising the
awareness of all involved actors from residents to the tertiary sector.
The Alterenergy project is expected to pave the way for a sustainable future in the municipal community of Igoumenitsa in particular, and the Municipality of Igoumenitsa in general. A SEAP will be prepared and its implementation will ensure an active roadmap
towards 2020.
The SEAP, which is prepared, will be the base of all actions and interventions. Specific projects will be identified, analyzed and evaluated through prefeasibility studies. These studies will go beyond a techno-economic evaluation and will also propose innovative
funding mechanisms for each investment. Furthermore a pilot demonstrative project will be realized in Igoumenitsa at the building
of the Regional Unit of Thesprotia. Finally an array of awareness raising actions will be implemented.
The ultimate goal of the Alterenergy project as far as the municipal community of igoumenitsa is concerned, is the implementation
of the prepared SEAP. This will result in considerable CO2 emissions reduction in the community above 20%. This will be the result
of actions started by the public sector but also through the stimulation of the private economy. The benefits to the people will be
multidimensional in all activity fields, from the environmental to the social, to the economic and climate change. The starting point
for this is the actions foreseen in the framework of the Alterenergy project.

density of 159.6 inhabitants per square km, in its territory there are 7 community.
Most of the territory of Moscufo, thanks to its geomorphological characteristics presents a uniform distribution of cultivated areas
and populated centers.
The settlements, however, are still mostly close to the roads, with the exception of the houses of the medieval era around the
historic center. Moscufo is predominantly an agriculture center and it is a renowned center for the production of extra virgin olive
oil. There are about 125.790 olive trees (Source SIPA 2004). On its territory there are also about 160 activities which consist mainly
of craft businesses.
With the accession to the Covenant of Mayors, several initiatives have been identified to be implemented on the territory in various
areas: housing, public lighting, transportation and renewable energy sources. Boilers with high efficient energy devices and temperature controllers have already been installed in schools; that will improve the environment of the middle school, with a reduction
in the consumption of natural gas equal to about 18% (about 1,900 cubic meters/y of natural gas), and the environment of the
elementary school, with a saving of methane of about 15% (about 1,330 cu.m / to methane ). By adhering to a project called “votive +”, the town will save on cemetery energy bills, recording consumption also 80% less than the existing one. Since 2008, the
city administration realized with its own funds, a photovoltaic system (10 kWp) on the roof of the middle school with a reduction of
about 6.09 t/y of CO2, which covers the entire needs of the schools, helping to reduce CO2 emissions .Since July 2013 the city
administration realized a photovoltaic system (191 kWp) that provides an average annual production of approximately 240 MWh/
year with a reduction of emissions of about 115,92 t/year of CO2.
Joining the program Alterenergy, the town expects to improve its environmental performance both from the point of view of energy
and the impact on the region. The Administration believes that comparison with other European countries and regions participating in the initiative in order to develop and define a common regional strategy in the field of renewable energy and energy conservation, it is very useful to address the challenge of climate change reaching a balance between the objectives of environmental
protection and competitiveness. Since the objective of Alterenergy on the territory of the Abruzzo region is the development of
initiatives to apply and test the sustainable management and use of energy resources in small communities in the region, however
the effects of the activities that will be implemented will also lead to changes the action strategies of the Municipality of Moscufo.
The actions that will be taken with participation in CBM will be those aimed to developing replicable models of sustainable management of energy resources. In particular, the city administration intends to modernize the public lighting network in order to
improve energy efficiency, reduce fuel consumption, as well as adapt the plants according to LR.12/2005 about light pollution,
and draw up a general plan of public lighting. In addition, the administration intends to continue the planning and management of
integrated actions of energy savings and energy production from renewable sources, through a participatory approach involving
citizens and local economic operators. It also plans to implement a comparison with other systems of local control of energy
consumption in public facilities.
By participating in the project Alterenergy the city administration expects to reap multiple benefits including, first of all an environmental improvement and secondly a greater economic development, that will allow a better quality of life. With the implementation
of actions in the field of renewable energy you can get many environmental benefits (less CO2 production, low energy consumption) with positive consequences in economic terms. This will allow to use the resources that can be used in the social field or for
public works, otherwise impossible to schedule with the normal budgetary resources.

The Municipality is located about 8 km from Forlì, along the highway 67 that, following the course of the Montone river, connecs
Romagna to Tuscany through Muraglione.
The territory is mostly flat and partly hilly and crosses the river Montone. Its strategic control position at the opening of the valley
of Montone has already favored human settlements since the prehistoric age, attested by the discovery of artifacts dating back
to the Paleolithic. In the Municipality there is a famous spa, thanks to the discover of the thermal water in the land back in 1830.
This is the principal economic activity and influences the social aspect of the territory. Moreover the farming represents another
important economic activity, producing wines and agricultural products.
Castrocaro Terme e Terra del Sole has been engaged in energy and environmental sustainability for many years mainly through
educational projects and requalification measures.
The City of Castrocaro e Terra del Sole has undertaken in recent years many actions in order to meet the needs in the field of safety, hygiene, environmental health, accessibility, mobility and energy conservation and trying to develop a sustainable conscience,
noting the importance of energy saving and technological innovation through specific actions and initiatives:
- Realization of photovoltaic system on the roof of kindergartens
- Subscription with the Emilia Romagna Region of the protocol of understanding for the experimentation in the field of technical
standards and of assessments systems of planning and construction quality
- Approval of the Green Building, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Sources Regulations
- Covenant of Mayors adhesion in order to develop a joint SEAP whit other 14 municipalities.
ALTERENERGY offers the opportunity to look at the energy performance of the Target Community and identify areas of improvement. Knowing the starting point for energy consumption and CO2 emissions is a key factor in planning strategic and effective
actions towards the achievement of European objectives (20-20-20 initiatives). Another key factor taken into consideration within
the project is the community engagement on policy making and its implementation.
The opportunity to learn, experience and implement the best practices implemented by other both national and international companies, in order to improve the quality of life and well-being in our territory.
Between the many actions planned under negotiation between the City and the Region, the following interventions have been
selected:
• Improving the energy performance of the Castrocaro School Compound. The intervention planned within the Alterenergy
project regards 9 school buildings. It is planned that a full energy audit of “Polo Scolastico” will be carried out including a
cost-benefit analysis of energy improvement actions.
• Energy efficiency and upgrading of public lighting in the Piazza d’Armi (Terra del Sole).
The aim is to develop innovative proposals through the use of technologies with reduced environmental and energy impact and
which allow the enhancement of architectural heritage of the two squares at night
The development of the pilot actions under the project Alterenergy will allow the Municipality to know the baseline energy consumption of the school compound and the square object of study. In addition, feasibility studies allow to have a set of actions for
energy improvement, which will allow the City Administration to obtain benefits in terms of economy and energy / environment
(reduction of consumption of energy carriers, the reduction of CO2 emissions reduction light pollution).
The involvement in the project also improves the ability to plan and to manage integrated actions energy-saving and to generate
energy from renewable sources, through a participatory approach involving citizens and local economic operators.

Brisighella is located in a privileged position and is a gravitycenter compared to many artistic cities such as Faenza, Ravenna,
Florence, Bologna and Rimini. It is accessible by roads down in the valley and over a railway line of historical value of which works
have beencarried out at the end of 1800. The conformity of the physical territory is varied, ranging from the low hills of the badlands
to the more mountainous territory of the south.
The population is widespread through the countryside and there are no areas totally abandoned by neither residents nor tourists.
Agriculture is still the main part of the present activities and there are some activities of handicraft located in small industrial dedicated areas.
The Municipality is certified EMAS and is working on a series of actions aimed at improving its environmental aspects.
This can be most easily seen in the Environmental Statement available for download at:
http://www.collineverdi.comunitamontana.ra.it/index.php/articles/19
We expect Alterenergy help us to define a common territorial strategy in the field of energy. This strategy shall help us facing the
challenge of climate change by seeking a balance between the objectives of environmental protection, competitiveness and supply security in the Adriatic area. It shall also help us developing sustainable models of management and use of energy resources
by trying to improve the ability to plan and to manage integrated actions energy-saving
Between the actions being planned within the SEAP, thanks to the support given by Alterenergy, we selected two actions by which
we’ll try to analyze the technical and economic feasibility:
• Energy Requalification of middle school “Giuseppe Ugonia”. The study will analyze the feasibility of the energy requalification
o of the building envelope, of systems of production and distribution of thermal and electrical energy with the aim of reducing
the energy consumption of the school which are currently more than 70 kWh/ m²year.
• Improving the energy performance of historic monuments. The study will involve the public lighting of the three hills of Brisighella and the three main squares of the city. The goal is to combine energy savings and night enhancement of sights and
monuments, with respect to the formal characteristics and environmental factors.
The development of the pilot actions under the project Alterenergy will allow the Municipality to have a tool for decision-making in
order to define the best technology option for the redevelopment of the property in question.
In addition, these measures will help us to achieve the targets of reducing CO2 emissions and fuel consumption of final energy
that the City is committed to achieve by joining the Covenant of Mayors.
The involvement of the entire local community (citizens, stakeholders, students, etc…) in capacity building activities will allow to
increase the sensibility to energy/environmental issues and the dissemination of best practices.

The Municipality of Forni di Sopra is one of the main tourist areas in the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region. It is located between 800 and
2500 metres on the sea level rise. Tourism is the main source of income in the area and it is supported by a network of 15 hotels
and 2000 dwellings. Population is around 1000 inhabitants which goes up to 5000 daily tourists in summer.
Within the territory lies one of the two Regional Parks the “Parco naturale delle Dolomiti Friulane” which covers a territory of 4000
hectares. http://www.parcodolomitifriulane.it//ENG.
Total energy consumption in the Municipality is around 5 million KWh.
Nowadays there are the following renewable energy sources, infrastructures and plants.
Renewable electricity
In terms of electricity local production outstrips consumption, although most of renewable electricity is put into the grid.
In the territory there is a local association that manages the production and distribution of hydroelectric poker.
- 2 hydroelectric power plants that produce 4,6-5,7 million KWh/yr
- Solar PV that generates 62.000 KWh/yr whereas 51.000 KWh are put into the electric grid.
A small hydroelectric turbine also feeds a mountain hut (Rifugio GIAF).
Renewable heat
There are seven public buildings which are connected to a biomass DH network that produces 1,8 million of KWth, of which 1,2
used locally.
The biomass plant is entirely fed by local forest biomass, namely forest residues from harvesting operations and urban forestry
maintenance. Total forest biomass used by the DH is around 1100 m3/year.
Finally there six mountain huts where cattle grazes that have installed a solar PV with a capacity of 1,3 KW each.
Additionally the two main local enterprises, a garden furniture company “Legnolandia” and the sawmill “La Fornese” have both installed a biomass plant that uses almost exclusively their wood processing by-products. Both enterprises are energy self sufficient.
The main objective is to expand the district heating network in order to connect other five public buildings in order to make them
energy self sufficient.
Furthermore other two solar PV systems will be installed in public buildings in order to reach on-site electric self sufficiency for
total 40.000 KWe.
Another objective is the optimization of the energy consumption of the public lighting through a remote control system which will
be used also for video surveillance and WiFi network.
A key factor in the strategies of the Municipality was, beyond trying to reach energy self sufficiency, to support the use of local
sources as a key to local sustainable development. All district heating networks use local forest biomass.
The project will contribute to the implementation ( through feasibility studies) and coordination of the above mentioned activities.
A energy balance sheet, an integrated sustainability action plan, sustainable energy feasibility studies, access to a package of
training courses on energy.
The Alterenergy project will contribute to integrate existing energy initiatives into a plan, will provide a baseline of energy consumption and production and overall GHG emissions, therefore enhancing the capacity of the Municipality to set clear climate and
energy goals and to meet them.

The Municipality of Verzegnis lies in the Northern area of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region at an altitude that spans from 300 to 1950
m on the sea level. There are 883 inhabitants distributed over 12 villages. The main natural resources are timber and the “red
marble” of Verzegnis, quite sought after in the marble industry. All forests are certified according to a forest management scheme,
PEFC that certifies that forests are managed sustainably. The town is well connected to transport networks and there are a children nursery and a primary school. Other services are provided in the nearby town of Tolmezzo.
The Municipality of Verzegnis belongs to the macro area of “Conca tolmezzina” altogether with Amaros, Tolmezzo, Cavazzo Carnico. http://www.concatolmezzina.it/istituzionale/The macro area pursuits common environmental and energy goals that include
the environmental certification schemes UNI EN ISO 14001 and Covenant of Major voluntary action.
In terms of energy supply, the Municipality is not connected to the gas network and energy demand is met by diesel oil and wood.
Total electricity demand is roughly 2,5 million kWh/yr. There is a small (450 KW) district heating (DH) plant fed by woody biomass
that will be expanded to fulfil further customers. The local school energy demand is met by another small scale (80KW) DH plant
fed by local woody biomass. On the Municipality buildings solar photovoltaic cells are installed for a total capacity of 70 KW. Part of
public lightning is provided by low energy consumption LED technology. Most of private households have solar thermal systems.
Also on the territory there is a hydroelectric plant on an artificial catchment lake which feeds a big scale paper and pulp industry
in the nearby town of Tolmezzo.
The project Alterenergy can contribute to laying out feasibility studies and an integrated energy plan that coordinate the following
activities
- to set up two 1MW each wind blades. The income from the electricity generated will be used to support the following actions
that are in pipeline:
- to provide support and bonuses to families energy bills
- to support the adoption of energy efficiency measures in private households
- to build a new woody biomass DH plant for private household heating
- to invest in the short forest supply chain in order to remove barriers like the lack of an adequate forest roads network and to
remove other barriers that hinder local forest residues utilization
- to replace traditional low efficiency public lightning with LED technology, to support micro scale wind power and heat pumps
in private households.
The training programme provided By Alterenergy can strengthen the capacity building of the internal Municipality staff on energy
issues.
Update of the energy balance sheet and of the Sustainability energy action plan, feasibility studies. The project will also provide
energy training courses to the administration staff.
The main expected results in the following years will be to meet almost total energy consumption (electricity and heat) with renewable energy sources. Also a general improvement of energy efficiency is expected. There is also a social dimension of the project
which lies in a more responsible behaviour of inhabitants toward green house gas emissions and the environment. Also all forest
biomass used comes from local sustainably managed forests and from the short supply chain, hence reducing GHG emissions
from transport and addressing the issues of sustainable biomass.
The services offered by Alterenergy will coordinate these action into a coherent plan, helping monitoring the advancements toward
the objectives of the SEAP and the implementation of the foreseen measures.

On 18th December 2010 San Giorgio di Pesaro signed the Covenant of Mayors initiative and adopted its SEAP on 23th April
2013. The SEAP has been drafted by San Giorgio Innvazione, Energia e Territorio SRL, which is an in house society owned by the
Municipality and committed for energy related issues. Through SEAP measures implementation, San Giorgio planned to reduce
CO2 emission of 31% by 2020. The Municipality has a good experience in energy and environmental sustainability fields. San
Giorgio di Pesaro has a solar plants for electricity production of 982 kW and a CHP plant of 420 kWe fuelled through sunflower oil.
San Giorgio di Pesaro has signed the CoM initiative: the Municipality is really interested to be conducted through the Alterenergy
process, starting from the initiatives already implemented at local level. Alterenergy project can give it the possibility to raise the
awareness of local stakeholders in knowing and accepting the SEAP initiatives, even if they are not really appreciated, such as
the biomass plants. The sharing perspective them the possibility to share with local stakeholders the process using a bottom – up
approach, which will be discussed and accepted by the citizenship avoiding the NIMTO effect, usually related to the top down
initiatives. Moreover, the possibility to discuss strengths and weaknesses for the SEAP actions implementations with other target
municipalities involved in Alterenergy project, with the same characteristics, can give a good opportunity to act as added value for
some municipalities and to find some solution for best practices already implemented in the partnership.
Its mainly expectation is to find common solution to overcome financial problems, after the end of the project.
Target Municipality of Marche region is involved in all activities foreseen in the project, in line with their own energy policies. Moreover, it will be involved in the implementation of feasibility studies on actions to be decided, but with an area strategic approach,
due to the similarities of the problems detected and the geographical proximity of some of the municipalities involved.
• Participation to a wide network of small communities in the Adriatic area, where it is possible to discuss and possibly overcome
common problems related to energy efficiency and sustainability.
• Creation of common action to be implemented in different areas.
• Raising awareness of local stakeholders and citizenships on energy related issues and acceptance of some unpopular decision (such as the realization of biomass plants).
• SEAP drafting from real needs and possibility to better monitor and evaluate energy consumption in own buildings.
• Possibility of creation of new jobs related to green solution, avoiding the migration of young people from little villages.
• Participation to the regional SEC, permitting best practices exchanges with other municipalities, already experienced in CoM
initiatives and pioneering some financial solution to overcome the stability pact rules in Italy.

Agnone is a mountain town of ancient origin, probably Samnite, located at 830 meters above sea level. Its territory is mostly occupied by forests (30.8%), arable land (27.0%) and grassland (24.1%). Famous for its artistic handcraft of copper and iron , Agnone
has an economic structure dominated by the tertiary sector, particularly trade, services and public administration. The Municipality
is particularly well-known for the production of bells for the most important churches in the world, an almost thousand –year old
tradition still brought forward by the Pontificia Marinelli Foundry. Fairly developed are also the food industry (pasta, confectionery,
flour milling, dairy and olive oil) and the extraction and processing of aggregates industry. Valuable environmental settings, crafts,
other traditional activities and local events are a source of attraction for a selected tourism, especially during the summer. Since
2001, the population of Agnone has been declining steadily of about 1% per year. The ratio of young / old is 1 to 2.

Sant’Agata is located in the North-West of Puglia, near the border with Campania Region.
Built entirely on a portion of the Southern Apennines, at an altitude of 800 meters above sea level, the Municipality covers one of
the most extensive areas in the Province of Foggia, about 12,000 ha.
The urban structure takes into consideration and respects the orography of the mountain, against which it leans. The main environmental characteristics are related to the medieval structure of a pyramidal shaped village, at the top of which stands the
massive Imperial Castle. All around are the woods (among which some of the most interesting are Cesine, Monte Croce, Serbaroli,
Pozzillo, Coste e Difesa, Castello-SanRocco) and the water courses (that include Frugno, Speca, Calaggio).
Data on the demographic situation of Sant ‘Agata di Puglia shows a steady decrease in the resident population. This decrease in
population is highly connected to the low birth rate and to the population aging, factors that slow down the generational change.
The economy is mainly based on agriculture and the main crops are wheat, grapes and olives. Thanks to the excellent quality
product and to an ancient manufacturing tradition in olive oil production, Sant ‘Agata di Puglia is included in the road of DOP-Dauno Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Also significant in this town are tourism activities and the services sector.
The policy adopted by the Municipality of Sant’Agata di Puglia aims to achieve, over a medium / long term period, a number of
strategic objectives that cover the economic development of the territory and the conservation of the ecosystem of this area.
These objectives are realized through the implementation of several initiatives and programs that focus on sustainability.
The Municipality of Sant’Agata di Puglia, has been for a long time active and proactive towards the environmental objectives set by
the European Community and has furthermore emphasized its purposes of sustainability by adhering to the Covenant of Mayors,
an initiative promoted by the European Community itself.
In 2012 the Municipality of Sant’Agata di Puglia was ranked as the best apulian Municipality, among those with population below
10,000 inhabitants, for the implementation of positive practices in the field of Green Energy Policy, in particular for the promotion
of the highest number of small photovoltaic systems (plants below 20 kW).
The municipal area is also characterized by the presence of several other renewable energy sources plants like solar thermal, wind
and biomass.
Thanks to the involvement in the ALTERENERGY Project, the Municipality of Sant’Agata wants to experience the prototype of
a “smart village”: a new development model which combines energy sustainability and the use of new technologies for energy
efficiency with the additional objective of preserving the medieval heritage of the village.
In 2013-2015 the following interventions will be carried out:
• Training courses, information events and capacity building actions aimed to local administrators and stakeholders. Awareness
raising events and promoting events aimed to the local population.
• Analysis/updating of the energy balance and of the CO2 emissions in relation to the territory and development/updating of an
Integrated Plan for Energy and Environmental Sustainability.
• Realization of feasibility studies for the implementation of specific actions to be carried out in the field of green economy.
• Implementation of infrastructural pilot initiatives.
The benefits of the ALTERENERGY Project in Sant’Agata will be both direct and indirect.
The physical infrastructures that will be realized will contribute to improve the energy and environmental sustainability of the Municipality.
The studies, the capacity building actions and the awareness rising initiatives aimed to local stakeholders and citizens should
improve their knowledge in energy and environmental sustainability fields and their capacity to undertake additional actions in the
same filed

Polverara is a small town of 3,048 inhabitants located in the province of Padua. It’s located about 15 kilometers far from the town
of Padua. The surface of the town is 9,85 square kilometers and the density population is 294 inhabitants/square kilometer. The
height above sea level is about 6 meters. Bacchiglione is a small river which flows near the town.
Agriculture and agricultural activities are widespread and prevalent than the industrial and service sectors. Even the animal husbandry is a relevant activity on the traditional economic of the area: in particular the poultry activity is deeply rooted and there is
the tradition to raise a particular poultry race “Gallina di Polverara”, which exists today with two different varieties (the white and
black) and has a characteristic tuft composed of feathers dense.
In the municipal area of Polverara energy production is based mainly on the use of fossil fuels (methane-natural gas and diesel).
Some final users, distributed in rural areas of the town where a lot of hedges are cultivated for the production of wood biomass
for energy, use woody biomass (firewood and pellets, rare wood chips).
The City Council has in charge Verdenergia E.S.Co., a mixed public-private society devoted to energy production from renewable
sources, to build and manage a district heating system fuelled by a wood biomass boiler (using wood chips). The district heating
network serves both public utilities (elementary schools, middle schools, nursery school, city hall) and private users in a residential
district. There are also some photovoltaic plants, installed both in public and private buildings.
To be part of the small Adriatic municipalities community, sharing a common target: improve a sustainable energetic resources
management through best practices shared at European level. The Alterenergy project could be an opportunity to gain experiences from other partners in oer to identify new and easier ways to improve sustainable energy management practices in to our
community.
Our purpose is to improve the intervention mainly on local transportation both private and public. Also we wonder to identify new
sustainable ways for heating our buildings and produce electricity. The main goal is to find easy way to increase the capacity of
our community to be more sustainable in terms of production/consumption of energy. We hope to reach an easy identification of
feasible pilot projects to be realized in to our communal area in the following years.
The broad benefits we intend achieve, for our community, is to develop new energy projects will support us to become a total renewable energy area. This framework will be bring us also new jobs opportunities, and will give us more environmental awareness
throughout our citizens. Finally we hope to have a better local environment management as an effect of the introduction of these
new policies and instruments.
