Territory

• The geographic area of intervention of S.energy covers about 436 km2 and includes three municipalities, Barreiro (34 km2), Moita (55 km2) and Montijo (347 km2) inserted in the Lisboa Metropolitan Area (AML). These four municipalities are part of the district of Setúbal, integrating in NUTS III of the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon.

  The diagnosis of the use of energy, for the geographic area of the municipalities of Barreiro, Moita and Montijo, allows you to identify the forms of energy used, the sectors responsible for its use, as well as the ways in which this use is made, establishing priority activity sectors in terms of the application of the measures which result in increased energy efficiency, energy savings and energy conservation, as well as in the greater use of renewable energy sources in three municipalities.

Role

S.energia plays an active role with the municipalities, supporting their energy-environmental strategy and encouraging other local actors in the region, such as the School Communities, Sports and Cultural Associations, the Social Institutions, the business sector and citizens in general, for acting according to the best energy and environmental practices, so we can build together a better Setúbal peninsula, more sustainable and environmentally balanced.

In this context S.energia has developed and participated in several actions highlighting:

• Development of action plans for sustainable energy of the municipalities of its area of intervention under the Covenant of Mayors;
• Energy audits in municipal buildings and in small and medium enterprises;
• Energy diagnostics in sports associations and fire stations;
• Elaboration of candidatures for Funding Programs
• Promotion and technical support for the implementation of renewable energy
• Training of municipal managers and teachers in the field of energy;
• A number of projects related to behavior change and promoting energy efficiency.
