Background
Cities are facing the new energy market reality and remain crucial to speed up the deployment of renewable energies and improve energy efficiency. However, they often lack the right technical and financial capacity to take advantage of all opportunities available.
Besides supporting the roll-out of sustainable smart city solutions, the Smart Cities Marketplace aims to improve citizens’ quality of life, increase the competitiveness of EU cities and companies and help reach the EU energy and climate targets.
