Value proposition

FEDARENE is the premier European network of agencies and regions at regional and local levels.

FEDARENE (European Federation of Agencies and Regions for Energy and the Environment) is the collective voice on the energy transition for regions and regional energy agencies. FEDARENE’s members drive the energy transition and climate action in their territories through ambitious policy development and strategic facilitation actions.

FEDARENE was created in 1990 by 6 regional authorities: Rhône-Alpes, Provence-Alpes-Côted’Azur, Wallonie, País Vasco, Aquitaine, and Nord-
Pas-de-Calais. Motivated by various European Commission programmes, they sought to elevate the voices of regions in the discussion of energy and environmental policies at the European level. Today, the federation counts
over 80 members across 24 countries in the European Union, drawing on the advice of +900 experts.

European regions and local/regional Energy Agencies are effective delivery agents of the energy transition in their territories. Our members are regional and local energy agencies, regional authorities and departments who implement, coordinate and facilitate sustainable energy and environment policies.

Local and regional energy agencies support public authorities, companies and citizens in accelerating their decarbonisation efforts. As independent market facilitators with public mandates, the energy agencies help stakeholders overcome barriers, collaborate effectively, and make informed decisions that align with regional energy goals and priorities.

Regions and their energy agencies stand ready to upscale and replicate across Europe the many energy transition programmes already implemented, securing Europe’s energy system in a sustainable way.
