With the signing of the Mayors' Pact in 2008, the city council has made a commitment to go beyond the EU's 2020 energy targets. This means reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in their territory by at least 20% as a result of increasing energy efficiency by 20% and covering 20% of energy demand with renewable energy. In order to respond to this commitment, a Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP) was drafted containing a total of 91 measures to be implemented during the 2012-2020 period. These measures are aimed at the residential and services sectors, as well as at municipal administration itself. They address the areas of energy efficiency, renewable energies, mobility and waste management and treatment.
