Energy
Strengths
Hydrogen sustainable mobility; Biomass Program Agreement for energy enhancement of
agro forestall and residual biomass in Regione Abruzzo; Awareness raising through ENERGAMES
Contest in the regional schools; Energy efficiency actions in agreement with ATER (Territorial Body for residential buildings) on public residential buildings.
Priorities
promotion and development of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency. These
priorities are defined and followed by the researchs in the universities located in the four provinces: L'Aquila , Pescara, Teramo, Chieti.
Agencies
ARAEN Abruzzo Regional Energy Agency; ALESA Chieti provincial energy agency;
AGENA Teramo provincial energy agency ; and Abruzzo produces every year 1,837 Gwh of
hydroelectric; 0,78 Gwh in photovoltaic; 250,98 Gwh in Wind energy; 3.236,43 Gwh in conventional
sources (thermoelectric). Abruzzo consumes 3.763,11 ktep a year.
