Genoa Study Visit Report – May 2009
ByOver 3 days in May 2009 PEPESEC project partners visited the city of Genoa to gain an appreciation of the national and local energy planning context and to view practical examples of sustainable energy projects.
The agenda of the study visit reflected the structure of the last two meetings which took place in Amaroussion and Katowice. For that reason, during the first day, a focused meeting between the partners from Malmö and Genoa took place in the centre of ARE, the Region Energy Agency which collaborates with the City of Genoa in the PEPESEC project. The theme discussed during this occasion was the actions conducted within the WP4 in Genoa. The representatives of ARE, eng.Silvia Moggia and eng.Pierpaolo Rossodivita, and of the City of Genoa exposed in details the actions conducted and planned within the WP4 by this administration. Moreover, they asked advice and information to the representatives of Malmö and of the Skane agency.
The second day, instead, was divided into two parts. During the morning, local speakers exposed the energy actions which are conducted in the city of Genoa or in the hinterland. Then, during the afternoon the study tour took place. The attendees reached the “Fascia di Rispetto di Prà” with a boat. Using this means of transport allowed them to understand the problems of the city of Genoa, which has a very big harbour and it is very long city.
Finally, on Friday, a specific meeting about the project PEPESEC among the partners took place.
