Securing energy supplies
On 7 November 2006 a memorandum of understanding on energy cooperation was signed between Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliev and European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso. The agreement is a further indicator of the EU's policy to diversify energy suppliers throughout the region in order to secure supply to the European market. For European consumers, the Caspian energy reserves and the pipelines that bring the oil and gas to Europe's doorstep are increasing in importance. The EU currently imports 50% of its energy needs but that figure is set to rise to 70% by 2030.

Local action for a greener Europe
http://www.energie-cites.eu/-BELIEF
"It's all about BELIEF- believing someone you know" - the EU's vision of a secure, safe and clean energy for the future cannot be reached without local leadership and action "on the ground". This video report looking at Heidelberg (Germany) and Dunkirk (France) shows how these cities run successful public communication campaigns to encourage their citizens to play their part in sustainable energy use. More than 20 cities from 11 European countries are taking part in BELIEF, a project supported by the EU's Intelligent Energy -- Europe Programme.

The future of Solar Energy in Europe
Solar energy is not just for sunny countries. This is what the tiny Danish island of Aero is determined to prove by hosting the world's largest solar thermal plant. And in Spain, a recent law requires all new apartment buildings to have solar panels. A sign that though still not the norm, solar energy is finding its way into Europe's homes.

Europe between the climate change and the energy security
Out with the old, in with the new. In a bid to boost energy security, Lithuania wants two new nuclear reactors to be up and running within the next seven years. The EU obliges the Ignalina power plant's last Soviet-era units - considered unsafe by western standards - to be shut down less than three years from now.

European Smart Energy Tour - Part I
In the spring of 2008, 22 students, professors, professionals, and community members from San Luis Obispo, California embarked on a journey to Europe. They traveled to England, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Sweden to learn about smart energy solutions. The group visited cities that exhibited best practices for sustainability in the following areas: renewable energy, innovative transportation, green building, smart growth, energy efficiency, and conservation. The group sought out those areas to be able to bring back some of the lessons and ideas to the United States.

Infoclip: Geothermal Energy
+++THIS VIDEO ORIGINATED FROM THE EUROPA AUDIO/VISUAL SERVICE WEBSITE+++
To illustrate the decisions on the energy package presented to the European Commission on 23/1/2008, the EC's audiovisual service has produced an infoclip on geothermal energy. The "Sustainable Energy Europe" campaign sets out new objectives for geothermal energy production to be reached between 2005 and 2008, ie 250,000 new heat pumps, 15 new electric power plants and 10 new low energy power plants. Italy was the first country in the world to use geothermal energy, with its first generation plant installed in Larderello, Southern Tuscany in 1911. Larderello's geothermal plants today produce 10 % of the world's supply of geothermal energy, while powering a million Italian households. This infoclip shows the...

European Energy Giants
Protectionism ? The europeans wants to protect its companies, so .. the non-communitaries countries has the same right. The amendments to 2003/54/ec and 2003/55/ec forbid one company to simultaneously manage the production and transport of electric power or gas. The amendment would split regional energy companies (Gaz de France, Electricite de France, E.ON, RWE, Endesa) into generation and distribution companies. READ MORE ..

Infoclip: Photovoltaic Energy
+++THIS VIDEO ORIGINATED FROM THE EUROPA AUDIO/VISUAL SERVICE WEBSITE+++
To illustrate the decisions on the energy package presented to the European Commission on 23/1/2008, the EC's audiovisual service has produced an infoclip on photovoltaic energy. The Serpa Solar Plant, in Portugal, is one of the largest producers of solar energy in the world. Its construction was completed in January 2007 and the plant's 52,000 panels cover an area of 60 hectares. Enough electricity is produced to power 8,000 homes and farms in the Alentejo Region which reduces greenhouse gas emissions by over 30,000 tons per year. The European Union granted 3,675,576.63 euros to help co-finance the project. This infoclip includes the following : - aerial views of the solar plant - solar panels -...
