Description
1 September 2003 - 31 August 2012
NSeaSEP is funded under the EU's INTERREG IVb North Sea programme. It brings together partners from Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark and Scotland to examine new organisational forms and governance for local sustainable energy initiatives and to pursue a range of local projects aimed at local coordination of renewable energy and energy efficiency measures.
The project will develop and promote: • baseline studies and energy analyses of each participating region • model local/regional energy scenarios, strategies and roadmaps • innovative forms of local/regional organisation, cooperation and private-public partnership • new business models for local/regional energy industries and markets, and new procedures for supply-chain management • sustainable energy evaluation methods, criteria, quality indicators and benchmarks • a range of practical tools and processes for energy planning, including GIS techniques, photogrammetric plotting, and analysis of different insulation techniques • web-based tools for cost benefit analysis • a wiki platform and discussion forums to share case studies and best practice
