| Smartphone apps to make the energy revolution visible |
ABOUT THE INITIATIVE
repowermap.org is an initiative to motivate people to use renewable energies and energy efficiency measures by making visible examples in each person's neighbourhood on an interactive map. Have you installed a renewable energy system or have you constructed an energy efficient building? Add your example to the map to make it visible and inspire others to take action as well - each example is important!
By adding your installation or building to the map, the positive effects of your activities are multiplied: apart from being a smart solution on its own, you give thereby also inspiration to others in your neighbourhood to do the same.
A broad network of NGOs, renewable energy and energy efficiency associations, local authorities and regions who share the common objective of protecting the climate and promoting sustainable energy use participate in this initiative and make the map known in common. repowermap.org is a non-profit initiative. The development of this app has been supported by the European Union through the Intelligent Energy Europe Programme.
