Covenant of Mayors - ready to start receiving the first Sustainable Energy Action Plans

The Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP) template is now available on-line, and the Covenant Signatories can start submitting their SEAPs.

The SEAP template is the first step in providing practical support to the Covenant Signatories, and will help the signatories to structure their actions and measures, and to follow up implementation. The template is also a valuable tool for collecting key information from the Sustainable Energy Action Plans. Highlights will be shown on-line under the Signatory Profiles on the Covenant of Mayors website (www.eumayors.eu).

The SEAP template was fine tuned together with the "practitioners group". A number of pioneering local authorities, which already have extensive experience in implementing sustainable energy action plans participated, and useful inputs were gathered to ensure a user-friendly tool.

The SEAP template works as an internet based tool that the Covenant signatories can fill in by themselves on-line via the Signatories-Corner (restricted area): http://members.eumayors.eu/. All Covenant signatories will have to complete the SEAP template on-line in English at the same time when submitting the Sustainable Energy Action Plan in their own (national) language. The SEAPs are due 1 year after joining the initiative.

A copy of the SEAP template & supporting instructions document is available at:

The SEAP template has been developed together with the Covenant of Mayors Office and the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission. Climate Alliance is in charge of the technical support and monitoring functions within the Covenant of Mayors Office.
