'Energy Efficiency Communities' is a trans-national project supported by the EU's promotion programme 'Intelligent Energy – Europe' and some national funds, in order to identify and implement tailor-made solutions for more energy efficiency in communities. Thalgau participated and furthermore realized the concept to only buy green electricity.

green electricity
Demonstrate on local level how to become a sustainable energy community; Identify and implement measures to become a pilot community; Demonstrate synergy between energy efficiency and regional economic benefits; Raise awareness for sustainable energy solutions; Contribution to national and European energy efficiency policies by the reduction of energy demand of buildings. Thalgau wants to save the energy amount of a power plant (6 GWh/a).
Awareness building activities are of major importance. New financing instruments could give new impulses. EU activities may be used as vehicle to transport energy efficiency messages to a broader audience. Survey on the energy demand of the communities. Identification of saving potential and development of the "power saving plant". Development of a concept of measures. Compilation of a brochure of "best of" examples.
