Good Practice Case Study Database
RENEWABLE ENERGY

 

Case Study Database 2009In 2009, INFORSE - Europe has opened a new Case Study Database of European examples of good practice in sustainable energy.

If you have an example of an activity or a project that is showing European good practice in realising or promoting sustainable energy, send us a description using the downloadable template, so we can include it in the database. This could be for instance be the change of an entire island to renewable energy, it could be building or transforming a community to use renewable energy efficiently, or it could be a successful way to promote renewable energy on local or regional/national scale. It can even be democratic structures in energy supply that enables citizens and consumers to promote energy efficiency and renewable energy this way.
