MODEL (“Management of Domains Related to Energy in Local Authorities”)

In order to increase the quality of life for its residents, the City council of the Georgian capital (1.2 million inhabitants) decided to join the "Covenant of Mayors" in 2010. Tbilisi’s participation in the project MODEL (“Management of Domains Related to Energy in Local Authorities”), coordinated by Energy Cities, had created the appropriate conditions to step up energy efficiency efforts. With MODEL, an energy team had been set up skilled to plan and implement energy efficiency measures within the municipality, to collect energy data and identify buildings with overconsumption. In 2015, Tbilisi became a dedicated member of our city network Energy Cities.
