The Village of Nagypáli is located in the Western part of Hungary, in the region of Zala. With about 500 inhabitants, Nagypáli is a small rural community that develops renewable energy projects to achieve carbon neutrality. Thanks to the commitment of its mayor, Tibor Köcse, the energy transition is well underway in Nagypáli.

The association of municipalities of Le Mené recently became the New Town Le Mené (encompassing 7 communities). Le Mené is spread on a territory of 163,23km2 and counts 6500 inhabitants. Pilot in terms of renewable energy innovations, Le Mené achieved the energy transition and produces as much (even more) energy from renewable sources as it uses. The strong political committment is and has been a key success factor for the energy transition.

The town of Peyrelevade has been committed to the energy transition for quite a few years and took part in many projects such as "Isole Toit" for the refurbishment and isolation of buildings with local materials. Located in a very remoted area of central France, Peyrelevade is the perfect example of a community with wide access to renewable sources of energy, but lots of constraints to promote their use. Refurbishment of public and private buildings from local eco-sourced materials is a success as it meets both the needs of the population and boosts the local economy. Other dimensions of the energy transition have been developed such as the production of renewable energy (heat and electricity).

The covers a vast territory in the South of France that decided to commit to the energy transition and to support the local communities. Urban planning, Climate Action Plan, ease access to energy renovation... are few of the actions and strategies conducted by the PETR to boost its territory in a sustainable way.

The region of Gaume is located at the very South of Belgium, on the boarder with France and Luxembourg. The territory is very much active for the energy transition and presents a coherent territorial development strategy, including energy challenges but also local food and agriculture, culture and much more. Even though it is facing tough conditions in terms of development of agriculture, its location turned out to be an advantage, promoting quality over quantity of long time ago, and working hand in hand with its neighbors.
