Outcome 1: The implementation of the national energy policy is supported at the local level. Outcome 2: Pilot municipalities benefit from an energy management system that allows to be scaled up to further municipalities. These objectives will be achieved through the following outputs: - Output 1: Suitable energy management units are established and strengthened. Local Energy Strategies are developed for pilot municipalities. - Output 2: Quick-win investments are realized. An incentive scheme for the mid- and long term implementation of an Albanian EEA Programme is prepared. - Output 3: Key institutions related to energy management are strengthened and the awareness of the population and decision makers is increased. - Output 4: An Albanian EEA Programme at national level is designed and introduced.
