The energy transition in urban areas involves both the shift towards cleaner, renewable energy sources and more energy-efficient technologies and behaviours within towns and cities.

EU Cohesion Policy supports this transition to a low-carbon, sustainable, and energy-efficient economy. By embracing renewable energy options and energy-efficient practices, cities can contribute to global climate goals while creating more sustainable, self-sufficient urban energy systems.Resources are available for cities driving the energy transition, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting energy conservation. Topics include

sustainable energy production and storage, smart energy grids, Positive Energy Districts, and the energy efficient retrofit of buildings.
