Requirements and application

German   /   The project Energiewende twinning towns   /   Good to know

Who can apply?

All European communities that already have cooperation or plan to launch a partnership with a German community can apply. The cooperation should foster the mutual exchange of knowledge related to promoting the energy transition on a local level. The communities involved can be cities, municipalities, local public utilities or local districts. The cooperation does not necessarily need to be a formal twinning agreement. Any form of cooperation or a common letter of intent is sufficient. For better planning, please send us an informal expression of interest in advance. The deadline for application, which needs to be handed in with the German partner municipality, is 15th March 2019.
