In summary, the NIMSEC project concentrates on improving and surpassing the local level energy efficiency, and increasing the overall share of renewable energy production. This has been achieved through a series of broad, sequential, and all encompassing actions aimed at creating a novel, pro-active and broadly supported type of Sustainable Energy Communities. In return, these actions permit to bring down the local market, training and awareness barriers and penetrate different sectors, from the local administrations over to industrial and/or agriculture sector as well as the general public.

To do so, the project was carried out in line with 5 strategic objectives (set out in a logical sequence and correspondent to the respective work packages). 

Strategic OBJECTIVES 1 and 2:

  • Exhaustive energy balance analysis of the four participating territories;
  • Formulation of a novel SEC model based on concrete energy efficiency measures and pilot initiative involving Smart Energy Efficiency Houses/Corners.

Strategic OBJECTIVES 3, 4 and 5:

  • Implementation of concrete market measures in each of the three strategic areas: local administrations, industry/agriculture and general public;
  • High profile pilot actions in the field of energy efficiency and renewable energy;.
  • Supporting promotion and training initiatives.
