The UBC Commission on Energy was established in October 2006.

The focus areas are:

• Reduction of greenhouse gases
• Energy efficiency programs
• Higher self sufficiency and local energy production
• (Dematerialisation of public sector)

The overall Aims and Goals of the Energy Commission

We have looked at the energy system issue rather than individual sources, and we would like to introduce this to the municipalities. The Energy Commision will raise awareness about projects and take practical use from experience exchanges in projects within the UBC network and promote municipalities to use great examples to get more energy efficient. Our strength is our great contacts with universities where we can bring science and university knowledge closer to the municipal/local level.

Co-chairmen:

• Tormond Nesset, Oskarshamn
• Dace Liepniece, Liepaja

The Secretariat of the Commission is located in Oskarshamn.
