Citizens and stakeholders are organising European Union Energy Days throughout the month of June to activate the transition to secure, clean and efficient energy. Held as part of EU Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW), presentations, workshops, conferences, tours, displays and other activities will spread the word about energy-efficiency and renewables.
The events, which will take place in Europe and beyond, are expected to attract thousands of visitors. Over 30 Energy Days are planned for Brussels alone around the EUSEW Policy Conference and Sustainable Energy Awards.
For a taste of the activities on offer, here are some of the proposed Energy Days:
- Diamond Solar Cooking Show – a public solar-cooking tutorial in Limassol Cyprus, with a chance to try the results and a children’s solar-cooker workshop
- HalfScreen Day – a month-long campaign across Luxembourg to persuade computer users to switch off that second screen to save energy
- E-Drive Day – an open day at the H2 research centre in South Tyrol, Italy, where the public can learn about hydrogen production and test different electric vehicles
- Discover Molenbeek through its Sustainable Buildings – a guided tour of the Brussels municipality, showcasing its sustainable solutions to citizens’ needs
- Energy Poverty in South-East Europe – a high-level stakeholder debate in Brussels on measures to reduce South-East Europe’s energy poverty, organised by the REACH project
