Stage 1 Preparation | The objective of this session is to equip participants with the base knowledge and tools required to initiate an energy planning process at the regional level. This includes defining the geographical area and scope, assigning roles and responsibilities, reviewing existing regional energy plans, and establishing a comprehensive framework for implementation. | Session 1 Training Note | Preparation | Preparation |
Stage 2 Engaging stakeholders & building partnerships | This stage equips partners with key skills for regional energy planning and stakeholder engagement. It focuses on selecting effective tools for citizen involvement, emphasizing the Energy Efficiency First principle. It also prioritizes meaningful participation in decision-making. | Session 2 Training Note | Engaging Stakeholder and Building partnerships | Engaging Stakeholder and Building partnerships |
Stage 3 Reviewing energy objectives | These training materials highlight the importance of evaluating energy goals to ensure sustainability and resilience. They guide stakeholders in assessing progress, addressing barriers, and aligning EU, national, and regional energy targets for effective planning. | Session 3 Training Note | 1_Introduction - Methodological Planning Framework 2_The “National and Regional Targets Comparison Template” 3_Review National Vision and Targets 4_Reviewing Regional Vision and Targets & Evaluating the Progress of Objectives and Targets | 1_Introduction - Methodological Planning Framework 2_The “National and Regional Targets Comparison Template” 3_Review National Vision and Targets 4_Reviewing Regional Vision and Targets & Evaluating the Progress of Objectives and Targets |
Stage 4 Regional Energy System | This stage focuses on explaining the importance of developing an energy inventory while also ensuring the collection of accurate data. Trainees will become familiar with selecting appropriate data collection methods and developing a comprehensive energy inventory for their region. Learning from examples can also help them anticipate and address potential challenges. | Session 4 Training Note | 1_Regio1st Planning framework outline 3_How to make data collection manageable - The experience of the Principality of Asturias | 1_Regio1st Planning framework outline 3_How to make data collection manageable - The experience of the Principality of Asturias |
Stage 5 Cost-benefit Analysis | This training will equip participants with a solid understanding of how to conduct a Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) within the framework of the Energy Efficiency First Principle. It will also highlight the key factors they should consider when performing their own analyses or when engaging external consultants to undertake this work on their behalf. | Session 5 Training Note | CBA essentials & tools | CBA essentials & tools |
Stage 6 Practical feasibility assessment | This training supports regional authorities in applying the Energy Efficiency First (EE1st) principle by evaluating feasibility and socio-environmental aspects in planning. It introduces the Regio1st MCDA tool, multicriteria decision analysis, and examples from PROSPECT+ on visualising impacts and financing sustainable energy actions. The session helps integrate stakeholder views, supply chains, and workforce considerations into regional energy strategies. | Session 6 Training Note | 1_Assessing the practical feasibility and socio-environmental aspects of regional energy planning 2_Using the Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) tool in practical feasibility assessment 3_Supporting local authorities in prioritising actions using socio-economic and local considerations 4_Best practices for financing sustainable energy measures in the public sector – examples_A 5_Best practices for financing sustainable energy measures in the public sector - examples_B | 1_Assessing the practical feasibility and socio-environmental aspects of regional energy planning 2_Using the Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) tool in practical feasibility assessment |
Stage 7 Actions and regional energy plans | The objective of this stage is to assist regional authorities in developing sustainable energy plans aligned with the EE1st principle. It covers action selection, assessment of impacts, cost-effectiveness, and stakeholder priorities. The training also includes examples of demonstration projects, financing options, and guidance on monitoring and evaluation to track progress and performance of regional energy strategies. | Session 7 Training Note | 2_Using the Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) tool in energy planning 3_Developing a regional Energy Plan 4_The experience of the Liguria region in developing actions 5_EUCF Developing investment concepts to implement energy efficiency interventions | 2_Using the Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) tool in energy planning 3_Developing a regional Energy Plan 4_The experience of the Liguria region in developing actions |
Stage 8 Implementation, Monitoring, and Review | This session aims to equip participants with tools to implement energy efficiency plans, monitor progress, build partnerships, and update regional strategies. It emphasizes structured planning, stakeholder collaboration, and regular reviews to help regional authorities achieve energy goals efficiently and sustainably. | Session 8 Training Note |
