The
Mediterranean Renewable Energy Centre is committed
in training and dissemination besides the
development of pilot projects. The MEDREC,
based in Tunis, was launched by the Italian
Ministry of the Environment and Territory;
today it involves International and Governmental
Institutions of Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco
and Tunisia. The Centre is the focal point
of the Mediterranean
Renewable Energy Programme (MEDREP).
The Mediterranean
Renewable Energy Programme (MEDREP) was launched
as a Type II Initiative at the World Summit on Sustainable
Development (WSSD) in Johannesburg by Italian Government.
The principal objectives of the programme are:
to provide
sustainable energy services particularly to
rural populations;
to contribute to
the climate change mitigation by increasing
the share of renewable energy in the energy
mix of the Region.
