PLANtoACT / Partners & Pilots
PLANtoACT tackles a key challenge faced by Local and Regional Authorities (LRAs) across Europe: turning ambitious clean energy transition plans into practical, on-the-ground action. The project works with five different pilot regions in France, Italy, Romania, Germany and Portugal to create an innovative, integrated energy planning framework that aligns strategies across various levels of governance and different sectors.
The project is supported by 9 partners: 4 international organisations and research centres, and 5 pilot regions and cities.
