Context:
This year is 10 years since the Walloon Region launched the POLLEC 1 program to encourage municipalities to sign the Covenant of Mayors. This program was followed by POLLEC 2 in 2015 and POLLEC 3 in 2016, which aimed to help municipalities and groups of Walloon municipalities to develop and implement a local Energy-Climate Policy within the framework of the Covenant of Mayors. In order to reflect on the implementation of the commitments, the structure of the Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan (PAEDC) has been established.
The PAEDC is the main tool of the municipalities which takes an inventory of the energy consumption of the different sectors as well as the potential for energy sobriety and the development of renewable energy in the territory. This document enables municipalities to set clear objectives for reducing their energy consumption and their greenhouse gas emissions.
Your mission:
Do you want to contribute concretely to the development of a summary, evaluation and communication tool based on the low-carbon approaches of our Walloon municipalities?
Since the first commitments proposed by the Walloon Region, some municipalities have indeed been proactive in the various approaches and others less so. The objective of this internship is to collect all the necessary data then to carry out a meta-analysis on all the 262 Walloon municipalities and to identify several evaluation criteria:
- Potential for reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions
- Commitments made and means put in place
- Evolution in relation to the objectives of reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, actions implemented, monitoring of the PAEDC, etc.
This analysis will initially make it possible to situate the municipalities in relation to the objectives set in the Walloon Region. In the continuity of this analysis, it will then be a question of establishing a monitoring and communication tool for public actors highlighting the most relevant sectors and actions. This tool will also aim to help and convince our customers and prospects in the development of their energy strategy and/or their renewable energy projects.
WattElse is open to the possibility of developing a thesis or a TFE related to the theme of the internship. If the internship proves positive in terms of skills and integration, it could lead to a job offer within the company.
