10. Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP)
10.1 Qrendi’s Vision towards a Sustainable Energy Future
The locality of Qrendi is setting the vision statement below as its guiding principle in its
effort in favour of a Sustainable Energy Future for the locality, in line with the objectives of
the Covenant of Mayors.
“The locality of Qrendi, aware of the challenge of a building a Sustainable
Energy future, shall aim to lead by its actions towards sustainable
development where its energy consumption shall be reduced and the related
CO2 emissions minimised. It shall contribute to the reduction of CO2
emissions at a National and European level, in proportion to its population
and resources.
Qrendi aims to become a village in which its residents can identify
themselves with the locality’s goal to sustainable living with minimal
environmental impact.”
10.2 Actions to Implement the Locality’s Vision towards Energy Sustainability
As mentioned previously in this document, the local council is committing itself to reduce
CO2 emissions in the areas under its direct jurisdiction. These include emissions due to
energy consumption in municipal buildings, municipal public lighting and the municipal
fleet. It is to be noted that municipal public lighting is not presently under the jurisdiction of
the local council but it is expected that in the term of the Covenant of Mayors, that is, by the
year 2020, the responsibility of municipal public lighting excluding arterial roads would be
handed over to the local authorities.
The following table lists the annual energy consumption and CO2 emissions that the local
council is committed to reduce.
