CONCERTO Initiative  --  VISIT  Hits: 2   The Europe-wide CONCERTO Initiative has been launched and co-financed by the European Commission under the 6th Framework Research Programme. It addresses the challenges of creating a more sustainable future for Europe’s energy needs. Today, within the CONCERTO initiative, there are a total of 28 communities in 9 projects working together to deliver the highest possible level of self-supply of energy. This objective is achieved through a combination of unique foresight and practical thinking. The focus is primarily on demonstrating the environmental, economic and social benefits of integrating renewable energy sources together with energy efficiency techniques evidenced in the 28 demonstration communities.
