Objektives Objektives of the projectof the project
To optimise the existing cluster management structures and improvingthe implementation of sustainable energy systems within regions
To gain best regional economic benefits in terms of employment, growth and innovation from the introduction of sustainable energy systems at regional level.
To stimulate regional supplies, services, innovation and practical action to further develop regional energy clusters.
Project StructureProject Structure
Step 1: Identification of Best Practices:energy management structures, policy instruments and actions in each partner region.
Step 2: Assessment of the regional Economic Impact of sustainable energy systems and or concepts: employment, growth and innovation.
Step 3: Regional Actions:to strengthen regional energy networks and / orto stimulate visible action in support of sustainable energy systems.

ResultsResults Analysis of the participating
regions has proven the regionaleconomic benefits of sustainable energy clusters in terms of employment, added value and innovation
The regional economic efficiency of sustainable energy strategies increases over time.
Regions that have employed sustainable energy strategies overa long period of time require less public funding for the creation of additional employment.
Regions that are following comprehensive and sustainable strategies, e.g. combining energy efficiency with renewable energy strategies, obviously deliver better economic results than regions with a more limited approach.
ResultsResults
Enforcement of sustainable energy policiesthrough combinations with other public support programmes, e.g. environment, employment, innovation, infrastructureprogrammes
Most benefits for the region can be achieved by a high public funding input in the start-up phase which decreases over time
ResultsResults
A wide range of effective financial and non-financial instruments available:
Public investment in sites, infrastructure, research and training
Direct subsidies for well-targeted funding of specific private-sector activities
Indirect subsidies, e.g. tax subsidies with wide-spread impact on regional energy clusters
Non-financial measures, e.g. legislation, feed-in tariffs, consulting services achievement of strong impact with limited cost
ResultsResults
Regional economic benefits occur through:
Investments in the exploitation of renewable energy sources Investments in distribution and consumption facilities Investments in energy efficiency, mainly in buildings R&D, training, consulting in sustainable energy issues The development of a regional base of suppliers Maintenance and service activities Reduced expenditure for energy imports Multiplier effects from higher income and demand of beneficiaries
