Regional Government marks World Energy Day with online session dedicated to companies
The Regional Secretariat for Energy, Environment and Tourism, through the Regional Directorate for Energy, promotes Friday, May 29, an online session under the Meetings with Energy Efficiency. It will be dedicated to Azorean companies with the aim of helping them to increase their energy efficiency, while disseminating the existing incentives and measures in this area.
In addition to being a session motivated by the moment we are currently living, this meeting, which marks World Energy Day, should also be regarded as an opportunity to rethink the future approaches of regional wealth generating companies.
This reconfiguration should involve the adoption of the best practices in energy management and energy efficiency, giving priority, on the one hand, to the saving of resources of each company and, on the other hand, to the environmental sustainability of each one of them, but also of the Region as a whole.
The meeting will address the main measures aimed at enhancing energy efficiency in a productive context as well as the various mechanisms and incentive systems available in this area at regional level, including Proenergia, the support for the purchase of electric vehicles and the incentives for the increase of energy efficiency in companies.
This session includes the participation and contribution of the Institute for Systems Engineering and Computers at Coimbra (INESC Coimbra), the Regional Directorate for Energy and the Regional Directorate for Planning and Structural Funds. At the end of the meeting, these entities will be available to clarify the issues that may arise, helping Azorean companies that will attend the event.
The Meetings with Energy Efficiency consist of a cycle of conferences organised by the Regional Directorate for Energy that have been running since 2017 with the aim of raising awareness, discussing and disseminating the best energy efficiency practices in the Azores.
In an adaptation to today's challenges, these sessions have recently migrated to digital format.
Under the title "Meetings with Energy Efficiency - Incentives and Measures for Companies," this session will be broadcast live on the Facebook page of the Azores Energy Portal at https://www.facebook.com/portaldaenergiaacores/ from 3 pm.
