Seven MODEL pilot cities awarded during EUSEW
On 20 January the independent jury of the MODEL Award gathered in Brussels for an actually quite difficult job consisting in the analysis and evaluation of 30 excellent applications that were submitted in two categories by 22 MODEL pilot cities.
As a result the jury decided to award:
- two cities in the category of the "Best Energy Management Unit" (9 applications received):
1st prize for the City of Koprivnice (CZ)
2nd prize for the city of Velenje (SI)
- four cities in the category of the "Best Municipal Intelligent Energy Days" (21 applications received):
1st prize for the city of Lom (BG)
2nd prize for the city of Brasov (RO)
3rd prize for the city Baia Mare (RO)
4th prize for the city of Valka (LV)
Furthermore, the jury also decided to create a special award category for the "Best Pilot City 2008" in order to reward the city of Gabrovo (BG) and thus highlight its overall excellent work achieved so far in both categories where Gabrovo appeared to have the highest rank.
Michael Cooke who is the President of the Jury and also Councillor of Leicester City Council has handed over the prizes during the Award Ceremony which was part of the European Sustainable Energy Week in Brussels on 9th February 2009.
The first prizes in each of the 3 categories consist in an invitation for two persons to attend both the Corporate Open Days that are organised in and by Kirklees on 2nd June 2009 and a study visit to Leicester on 3rd June 2009 while the other awarded cities received a certificate.
