scapes guidelines, showing a path of integrated planning able to involve citizens
and local actors, in different contexts.
Capitalisation is finally intended as a way to significantly improve energy
planning tools in EU territories, including landscape issues in normative and
planning framework. In order to do that, Local Action Plans will be linked to
provincial and regional normative frameworks, for example adapting the sys-
tem of incentives, the authorisation process, the procedures for mitigations and
compensations. Moreover, the Enerscapes methodology can be easily integrated
in the Covenant of Mayors, the mainstream European movement involving EU
local authorities for energy sustainability, as activated by CEA in Cyprus.
In the following, every partner will briefly present the capitalisation in its own
local context.
3.1 MieMa, MaLTa
MIEMA aims to capitalize the results of the Enerscapes project in Malta through
different actions and future projects. As a first step for capitalization, the com-
pleted action plan has been presented to various local authorities, including the
Ministry for Resources and Rural Affairs. MIEMA has presented the action plan
to the local councils around Malta and Gozo in order to disseminate the project
results and assist them in the implementation of renewable energy installations
in their localities. A number of municipalities have a rich historic and cultural
heritage, especially those situated around the Grand Harbour area, and thus the
application of the methodology that was developed in the Enerscapes project
will facilitate the planning and integration of RES.
