How can municipalities shape the energy transition and what significance do storage systems have?

Over the past almost three years, the EU Interreg Baltic Sea Region project Energy Equilibrium has developed a tool and a roadmap to support municipalities on their energy transition path toward climate neutrality.

This online discussion will present the developed roadmap for municipalities. Experts from three Baltic Sea region countries will then present their respective national or regional energy strategies and the integration of storage technologies. A discussion will conclude with the question How can municipalities shape the energy transition and what significance do storage systems have?
