Public authorities are major purchasers of goods and services and can by this influence a very significant range of environmental impacts related to the technical specifications, purchase, transportation, use and disposal of goods.

pro-EE wants to bring together public authorities in 6 European countries to boost energy efficiency in selected product groups.

 

Large-scale joint procurement is to bundle the purchasing power of public authorities with the aim to accelerate market penetration of products fulfilling ambitious energy efficiency criteria.

 

The selected product groups are:

  • office equipment
  • street lights.


pro-EE unites market actors in 6 European countries. If you represent a public authority in

 
and want to reduce your energy consumption and costs, you are invited to participate and benefit in the joint procurement of the selected products.


Regional subnetworks assisted by national expert organisations in the six partner countries provide practical and technical advice to the authorities through a step-by-step training and implementation approach.

New energy efficient technologies will also be pushed by the pro-EE project partners in a lose consultation process with European industry by developing criteria and expressing demand for such products.

The selected product groups are:

  • electric vehicles
  • LED street lights.


Outcomes of the pro-EE project are recommendations, trainings, model procedures, awareness raising actions and networking approaches for local and regional public authorities. One of the aims is to extend the strategies to other buyers which can then be used by any public
authorities in Europe.
