After twenty years of existence, Energie-­Cités ­the association of European local
authorities that are inventing their energy future­ has changed both its name and logo. The
name of the association is now Energy Cities, to underline the European dimension of
this association which has a membership of one thousand local authorities from thirty
countries.

The new name and logo were officially revealed on 29th April 2010 during the Annual
Rendezvous in Salerno (IT) in the presence of over 250 local authority representatives.
Established in 1990, the Association is now a network recognised by cities, European
institutions and an increasing number of private and associative partners.

Actively involved in the Covenant of Mayors, Energy Cities encourages cities to combine the
necessary energy transition of their territories with a high quality of life for their citizens.
In celebration, Energy Cities has published a special issue of its twice­yearly magazine
Energy Cities INFO which can be downloaded from the association’s website: www.energy­-cities.eu.
