Rome, 23 February 2024 – The “Smart City Transformation Academy”, a digital education initiative dedicated to Public Administrations launched by WINDTRE, was held today in Rome. The focus of the initiative was digital technologies for environmental improvement, energy savings, and innovation, as drivers of change for Public Administrations.

In light of the Decree on Renewable and Sustainable Energy Communities (the “CER Decree”) issued by the Minister for the Environment and Energy Security, Pichetto Fratin, which came into force on 24 January, establishing the incentives for electricity produced by renewable energy plants for self-consumption, the tools and techniques for monitoring the energy consumption of buildings throughout the country were illustrated. Particular emphasis was placed on the role of energy managers, and the importance of energy efficiency within Public Administrations, and therefore the role of Renewable and Sustainable Energy Communities.

The Academy is part of WINDTRE’s concrete commitment to placing digital technology at the service of the territories, and to guiding the urban and sustainable transformation of Italy’s cities, together with local administrations, thus improving the environment, as well as the health and quality of life of individuals. The company aims to achieve ambitious results in the three ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) areas by 2030, and has been promoting solutions and projects for years aimed at steering the country towards a more sustainable and inclusive future, with a quantitative approach and continuous tangible results over time.
