BISE - Better Integration for Sustainable Energy

BISE aims at encouraging the creation and strengthening of networks of towns and cities promoting energy efficiency in the New Member States, Candidate Countries, Western Balkan Countries and Ukraine.

It is a pan-European process that brings together local, national and European partners involved in energy efficiency in order to :

• reduce the gap between these countries and the former EU15 countries,
• accelerate the integration of the EU acquis,
• highlight the importance of municipalities and improve local capacities.

In practical terms, three key areas of action have been identified:

• hiring of energy managers in all municipalities
• improvement of energy management in municipal properties
• funding of municipal projects and networking activities.
