Grupo cooperativo
Network of Small Rural Communities to achieve the energetic neutrality The project is a part of the European Financial Instrument, Intelligent Energy for Europe (IEE). Duration: 3 years (2008-2011) The European Commission would like to involve the rural areas in the design energy policies. The main objective is to achieve the energetic neutrality fostering the innovative development. The EC knows the difficulty that those kind of rural areas have in this sense and with this project Europe supports the creation of an European Network to share experiences related to the energetic neutrality. Initially this project are working in eight countries, fourteen pilot communities and counting on a technological partner.
