SEAP Action Plan for Sustainable Energy

With Resolution of the Municipal Council n. 135 of 31/01/2014, the guidelines for starting the process of developing the Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP) and the related strategic environmental assessment (SEA) were approved.

The SEAP constitutes the planning and programming document for policies for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, which the Municipal Administration has undertaken to prepare as part of the European Commission initiative called Covenant of Mayors.

The SEAP objective is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by at least 20% by 2020, compared to the reference year 2005.

 To achieve the set objective, the SEAP acts on the 5 major themes listed below:

1. Buildings
through energy requalification, the reduction of electricity consumption and emissions, in public and private residential buildings, identifying regulatory, incentive and citizenship training measures

2. Tertiary Sector and Services
identifying regulatory measures, training incentives, in order to activate actions for energy requalification and the reduction of electricity consumption and emissions in the business sector

3. Mobility and Transport
strengthening and making public transport services more efficient and promoting sustainable mobility (cycling, electric, car sharing...)

4. Energy Production from Renewable Sources
promoting and encouraging the use of solar thermal, photovoltaic and geothermal heat pumps

5. Waste
increasing the fraction of separated waste and making the energy recovery of the residual fraction more efficient.

With City Council Resolution no. 25 of 07/06/2018, which became executive on 14/07/2018, it was decided to adopt the Action Plan for Sustainable Energy of the Municipality of Milan (PAES) accompanied by documents relating to the Strategic Environmental Assessment procedure of the Plan (Environmental Report, Reasoned Opinion, Summary Statement).
