The project will boost efficiency in electricity use in 8 European regions. It will analyse and tackle areas with specific growth rates by developing regional plans and implementing targeted promotion and dissemination activities.

The reasons for growth in electricity use are various and complex: changing life styles and work patterns leading to a proliferation of equipment and appliances, resulting also in a sharp increase in stand-by losses; increase of cooling in warmer, but also in colder climates; switch to electricity from other energy sources; increase in electricity-intensive processes in industry etc.
