The Energy Community is a dedicated urban cooperative that aims to promote the social and solidarity economy and innovation in the energy sector, address energy poverty and promote energy sustainability, production, storage, self-consumption, distribution, and supply of energy. Furthermore, we aim to enhance energy self-sufficiency/security in island municipalities, as well as improve energy end-use efficiency at the local and regional level, through the activity in the fields of renewable energy sources, high-efficiency cogeneration, rational use of energy, energy efficiency, sustainable transport, demand management, and energy production, distribution and supply.

During the first stage, the consultant’s tasks are to analyze the institutional framework of the establishment and operation of the Energy Communities, to reflect the current energy situation, to collect data on the possibilities of generating electricity from existing RE (renewable energies), to collect data on consumption (municipal buildings, vehicles, etc.) and finally to analyze the potential of RE.

In stage two, the consultant assesses the potential of RE to come up with an operational plan for their exploitation, with specific reference to targeted actions as well as the part of the population that will benefitfrom said actions. The above-mentioned activities will explore the possibility of adequate funding from national or European financial instruments

During stage three, the consultant prepares the cooperative with the aid of the municipality, while also collecting the necessary documents for the establishment of the Energy Community in which the municipality may participate, by Article 2, of Law 4523/2018. Finally, the consultant supports the municipality in the process of registering the Energy Community in the relevant register.

The project implementation process is divided into four (4) stages

During the first stage, the consultant’s tasks include staffing and training the municipality’s project team as well as establishing the stakeholder group that will contribute to the elaboration of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans. Furthermore, they make sure that a commitment pact on the general principles of sustainable mobility ensues, they define the intervention area, assess the impact of regional/national and local plans and strategies, and delimit the final implementation of the timetable. Finally, they implement learning tools that will help in the self-assessment of the mobility planning of the municipality.

During stage two, the consultant reflects and analyzes the current situation of the transport infrastructure, develops future status scenarios of the mobility system, and includes the planning and implementation of the first phase in conjunction with the stakeholders.

In stage three, the consultant is developing, in cooperation with the municipality, the vision for the development of the urban environment of the city which will lay the foundation for the definition of the objectives and measures of the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans. In addition, mobility is prioritized in accordance with the analysis of the previous phase of the study, and an attempt is made to quantify smart objectives considering trends at the national and European levels. Finally, the second consultation phase is planned and implemented.

Stage four includes the development and identification of urban mobility measures, preparation of the action plan for the implementation of the proposed measures, and their indicative cost. Finally, the third phase of the consultation is planned and implemented.

The project aims to provide advice on the sustainable development of the network of electric power infrastructure and its functionality and to inform, educate and familiarize its citizens with the concept.

Planning is achieved by recording, analyzing, and evaluating the existing situation of the municipality in terms of socio-economic and development characteristics, urban and spatial organization, and transport systems. It is also important to conduct and evaluate through dialog with parties of interest. The result of the study is the smooth combination of correlation of the trend of population development and the phenomenon of urban diffusion and development of the municipality – based also on the institutionalized spatial planning studies that govern it – with the field of sustainable urban mobility, namely electrification. Additionally, an economic and technical feasibility study will be drawn up for the replacement of municipal vehicles

With the completion of the above study, it will be possible to secure significant financial resources and future integration of this network into appropriate co-financed operational programs under the current and upcoming periods.
