Learning Energy Efficiency Network Launches in Moldova

The Republic of Moldova has taken a significant step towards sustainable energy management with the official launch of the Learning Energy Efficiency Network (LEEN) in Chisinau. This project, aimed at supporting local public authorities in efficiently managing energy resources, was met with enthusiasm by over 30 Signatories of the Covenant of Mayors (CoM) who attended the launch event.

LEEN’s primary focus is on CoM Signatories who have developed Action Plans for Energy and Climate and are actively implementing them. The project is a collaborative effort involving the Ministry of Energy, GIZ Moldova, the National Center for Sustainable Energy, CALM, and other local partners, representing an important stride towards achieving sustainable development goals.

The LEEN initiative will provide member towns and villages with a range of benefits, including energy planning tools, expert advice, and access to professional networks for project development. Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to share experiences, collaborate with peers, and access dedicated funding for reducing CO2 emissions.

By joining the LEEN network, local authorities will be better equipped to implement their energy and climate action plans, ultimately leading to reduced carbon footprints and improved quality of life for citizens. This launch marks an important milestone in Moldova’s commitment to energy efficiency and sustainable urban development, paving the way for a greener future.
