The Plan4COLD program, a European initiative focused on developing local heating and cooling energy strategies, is currently active in Crete. A dedicated seminar was held in Chania to present the project's progress and goals. The program aims to help municipalities create practical plans for managing energy demand related to temperature regulation, with an emphasis on renewable energy sources. Greek partners involved include the Centre for Renewable Energy Sources, the Technical University of Crete, and the Regional Development Fund of Macedonia. For visitors, this reflects Crete's broader commitment to sustainable energy development, particularly relevant during the hot summer months when cooling demand peaks. The Technical University of Crete's involvement signals ongoing academic and technical investment in the island's long-term energy resilience. The Chania seminar was open to local stakeholders and regional authorities participating in the program.
