Welcome to Enerscapes, a project part-funded by the European Union Regional Development Fund under the Interreg IVB MED Programme. The growing use of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) is leading to a new awareness about their compatibility with landscape and heritage preservation policies.  This project wants to investigate and evaluate the impacts that a non-regulated diffusion of RES could cause on Mediterranean territories and landscapes.  By connecting energy and territorial planning, partners will identify suitable strategies for considering ecological, landscape and heritage aspects while setting up RES promotion policies.

From the construction of a common basis on best practices and normative solutions, the goals of the project are the definition of an assessment method and common rules with the perspective of environmental-landscape safeguard for RES introduction.  Enerscapes wants to ensure a wide and balanced geographic coverage, both horizontally and vertically, to broaden the range of territorial and environmental case studies and to create an exhaustive panel on national and regional procedures, to define a common method in the field of the RES systems in the MED Area.
