The original vision for SEAI... to stimulate a national move towards sustainable energy practice through demonstration in an exemplar community Purpose: to be both a catalyst for action on the ground to deliver national targets and a platform for wider debate and strategic influence at a national and European level

4 LESSON 1 To be a successful Sustainable Energy Community THINK BIG BUT BEGIN SMALL

5 Zone Town Region

6 Living in a Sustainable Energy Community

7 LESSON 2 A Sustainable Energy Community won t work without STRUCTURE

8 Sustainable Energy Management Collaboration Structure Organisational Commit Management Commitment Review Identify Technical Understanding how and where energy is used People Developing an energy efficient culture Take Action Plan Needs a good balance

9 The Large Industry Energy Network Large Industry Energy Network: 140 companies % saving Long term members using 39% less energy than business as usual

10 Expanding the remit to the Community Enabling the Local Community Champions Local Authority Partnerships = The energy they use (Public Sector Programme) Sustainable Energy Community = The energy they influence Together, foundations for Smart Cities and Communities

11 At community level Commit Review Identify Take Action Plan

12 LESSON 3 A Sustainable Energy Community needs COLLABORATION

13 Collaboration

14 LESSON 4 A Sustainable Energy Community needs to balance DEMAND and SUPPLY
