ConclusionsConclusionsConclusionsConclusions

Cities are innovative • Great role to play in local energy management and a pplying,

demonstrating and mainstreaming eco-innovations• Initiators of pioneering projects and national legis lations

Innovative financial solutions needed• Structural funds should be used (more!)• Few bankable projects at LAs > off-balance methods ( ESCOs) • Larger involvement of banks & soft loans needed• `Soft projects` and human resources often neglected• Grants for energy audits & feasibility studies can he lp identifying

`good` projects

Exchange on good (and avoidable) practices crucial • Demonstrate available achievements • Create interest and needs by citizens (pull)• Political acceptance and policy making (push)
