-- energy is one out of 8 thematic fields of the pilot actions
-for example in NORTHERN GORIŠKA, Slovenia
-“The pilot region has a lot of wood, but the chain from landowners to final user does not function well. Most of untreated wood is exported abroad; so the region is still dependent on external sources as fossil fuels. Therefore, among other things, the pilot region Northern Goriška is trying to create favourable conditions for the establishment of value added chain of wood.” http://www.cipra.org/en/pdfs/1185/view

-Success factors: “It has proven to be most effective to find key figures or motivated people to join the actions, form cooperation with experienced partners and use existing networks. Key factor of success has thus been in stakeholder engagement - workshops, seminars and conferences had capitalising effect and participatory approach proved to be cruical to developpment of strategic documents. Other success enabling factors have been identified as gaining public, including political and private sector, interest and support, proving benefits for stakeholders and capitalising upon existing know-how.” http://www.alpine-space.org/2007-2013/uploads/tx_txrunningprojects/ALPSTAR_FinalAchievementsSummary.pdf
-“FACTORS OF SUCESS
-Partners  put  the  projects’  success  down  to  continuous  cooperation and communication between various stakeholders, the companies involved, the political level and the population. In particular, one of the key factors was the awareness in policy boards and within the populations. The presence of financing opportunities and the bankability of actions was also deemed vital.”  www.alpine-space.org/2007-2013/uploads/tx_txrunningprojects/ALPSTAR_Final_Publication_EN.zip fiche 3

-WP5:
-“A tool was therefore designed in order to facilitate the collection of information in a standardised way and to ensure consistency in the data collected. The tool uses the data to calculate the emissions related to the three main sectors: electricity, thermal energy, and transport.”
-“the Alpstar project focuses only on CO2 emissions”
-Example case study output “The  potential  for  electricity  production  from  renewables  for  St.Gallen  amounts  to approximately 2/3 of the demand. This result is influenced by the high electricity consumption per capita. The introduction of measures to use energy efficiently could
-help reduce electricity consumption and as such improve the 2/3 ratio reported above.”  they calculated the local renewable potential for all pilot regions
-from fiche3: “The results shown in the graphs in this document reflect the differences of the areas studied. Since for some partners it was not possible to calculate the renewable energy potential for the area of the pilot region, the values have been calculated for an upper administrative level and downscaled to the pilot region level by using the population as a proxy. These values therefore do not reflect the real potential of the pilot regions but are only an estimation. They have been displayed for comparison reasons and completeness of information and should be considered “with precautions”. Similar consideration applies to the carbon sequestration capacity. Other projects (recharge.green) aims to evaluate in more detail and precision the renewable energy potential of the alpine area, by also taking into consideration the sustainability (economic, social and environmental) of the source. Consumption and emissions data and graphs are derived from the information collected by the partners through the analysis of the situation tool.”
-“After all, the basic “recipe” for pursuing this target is already well known and diffused: Try to avoid the use of energy, use it efficiently and produce it with sustainable renewable sources. What might change are the different best practices that might be implemented. These vary from region to region and as Alpstar has shown, they should and have been promoted and diffused in order to make them standard.”
- “ENERGY
-In the energy supply sector implementation plans dealt with producing  and  distributing  renewable energies as well as questions of energy vulnerability and awareness raising. The latter is the Achental Valley’s approach which aims to change people’s behaviour to reduce energy  consumption.  Other  project  partners  developed  sustainable energy plans, such as the City of Bressanone and the OPAC 38 region while  Valtellina  Valley  and  the  North  Primorska  region  attemptet  to establish concrete bio- energies.”
