Policy

FEDARENE provides a voice for regions and energy agencies on policies at European level. We share the experience and knowledge of our members through multiple publications, events and advocacy fora.

Shaping Europe's Energy Future

At FEDARENE, we believe regions and local energy agencies play a crucial role in achieving the EU's climate neutrality goals.

Our policy work focuses on ensuring that the voice of regions and energy agencies is heard in European policy discussions. We advocate for ambitious yet realistic policies that support the energy transition at local and regional levels.
