Abruzzo is a region in central Italy lying just 70 miles east of Rome. Its regional capital is the city of L'Aquila. The territory is divided into four provinces: L'Aquila (the largest), Teramo, Chieti (the most populous) and Pescara, Abruzzo's main economic centre. The four provinces are further divided into 305 municipalities.One third of the region is designated as national or regional park. The protected areas are environmentally important and are home to rare flora and fauna, such as the brown bear, the wolf and the chamois.
Because of this feature it is necessary to act with environmental and energetic policies so that the main activities of Regione Abruzzo Parks, Territory, Environment, Energy Department and ARAEN (Abruzzo Regional Energy Agency) are the increase of energy need management through the promotion of energy efficiency, the support of a better and more rational use of local and renewable energy sources in order to optimise the latter in view of their utilisation also in private and public construction, the optimisation of production costs, the support of the research of the best methods for exploiting the energy needs in the region and the management of the regional functions in the field of energy.
