The project INTER PARES has been officially launched the 13th of October in Rome in the headquarter of the Union of Italian Provinces (UPI) in Rome. During the meeting the partners of the project have agreed on the work programme and set up the next steps of cooperation. In particular the project team have analysed the survey tool which will be used to know the obstacles to be tackled in order to increase the electricity production from renewable energy at provincial level. The first significant result of INTER PARES is the interest showed by the Italian Provinces in taking part of the project. Already 49 provinces in fact have expressed their interest to be associated to the project: their role will be fundamental for the effective implementation of policies, strategies and streamlining solutions.
