What is Energy Efficiency Watch 2?
 The specific objective of the "Energy Efficiency Watch 2" project is to continue the work undertaken by EEW1 project and to facilitate the process of implementation of the Energy Services Directive. The main target groups are Parliamentarians at European, national and regional level as well as civil servants working on the implementation of the Energy Services Directive. EEW2 aims also to create an even stronger network with the regions and cities that are of utmost importance for the implementation of energy efficiency policies laid out in the NEEAPs– National Energy Efficiency Action Plans. The networks ECEEE, Energy Cities and FEDARENE are for instance active partners of the project consortium and a special link to the Covenant of Mayors will be established.
The EEW2 also aims at enhancing its contact to other key players (industry and NGOs) in the field of energy efficiency, outside the project consortium. During the project, all relevant stakeholders - project network partners as well as external partners - will be integrated to see what has been done on the Member State level since the first round of NEEAPs in 2007, what is under preparation, what is the level of the second NEEAPs etc. by using a bottom-up approach.
- Events for supporting the exchange of knowledge, practices and experience and getting feedback on the implementation of energy efficiency policies
- Surveys among partner networks (50 surveys per network), stakeholder interviews (150 interviews with selected experts), NEEAP2 screening
- Good practice outputs distributed to MPs and national administrations related to NEEAPs - Package of good practices for 6 sectors -“Good practice and policy recommendations” brochure
What Energy Cities is doing in Energy Efficiency Watch 2?
Energy Cities is leader of the work-package “Activation and consultation of networks”. In order to keep the dialogue with a few more engaged local political key players running and to set up a consolidated opinion of the network we will:
- Integrate EEW2 sessions into Energy Cities annual Rendezvous (first one on multilevel governances on 8 April in Zagreb),
- Organise lunch discussions between ENC Board members and stakeholders from local, national and European level,
- Link the EEW project to the Covenant of Mayors by bringing together City Mayors with the Member States governments and parliaments. EUFORES and Energy Cities organise a high-level event in the EP in order to convene those decision makers discussing relations between the Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAPs) on the city level and the NEEAPs on the national level.
