Energy Øresund
Strategic energy planning is a cooperative theme for Energy Øresund. In the project, municipalities and energy companies across Øresund implement concrete demonstration projects, which address the challenges connected with integrating renewable energy in the existing energy system.
This sheds light on how new city areas with low energy needs can ideally be supplied. Where relevant, private companies and research institutes must also be involved in order to contribute to creating innovative solutions and new models for public/private collaboration, which can further sustainable economic growth in the Øresund region.
Along with the implementation of demonstration projects and as a superstructure, an Øresund-regional forum for idea development and collaboration will be developed, focusing on strategic energy planning, where the challenges connected with cross-border initiatives in the energy area will be addressed.
The partners in Energy Øresund share a vision of the Øresund region as the first CO2 -neutral region in Europe, which—through concrete and innovative solutions—creates growth, develop the region, and visibly strengthen cohesiveness. The vision is politically anchored in the Øresund Committee’s development strategy (ØRUS).
