SMARTPORT aims to enhance South Adriatic and Ionian ports’ energy profile by introducing eco-sustainable LED lighting systems through 6-month long pilot actions and adopting new and efficient energy strategies that, following the European standards, combine the use of renewable energy sources, energy saving, energy storage and smart grid technologies. The expected results are: improved port area capacity in sustainable energy planning; adoption of energy efficiency and sustainable energy production programs for public administrations; reduction of energy consumption and CO2 emissions in the selected ports; contribution to prevent climate change, and better use of energy in the programme area. The training of energy managers guarantees the durability of results.
