SEVEn has organised the Czech part of a study tour, undertaken by The Energy Coalition from California, USA, aimed to bring together Californian local governments, utilities, regulators and other key stakeholders to exchange information and perspectives on pressing energy issues. The core purpose of the AspenAccord is to gain mutual understanding and build innovative partnerships between participants that will achieve significant progress toward a more sustainable energy future. SEVEn has organised the study tour in Prague, prepared presentations on the topics of energy efficient buildings, products and services, and discussed with Californian representatives the current issues related to energy efficiency and renewable energy sources, and the way they are implemented in the Czech Republic, EU, and the USA.
