The European Energy Award (eea) is one of Europe's leading certification programmes for municipalities committed to measurable progress on energy and climate policy. Managed by the Association European Energy Award AISBL in Brussels, the programme operates across nine countries — including Austria, Germany, Switzerland, France and Italy — with nearly 1,900 local authorities representing 67 million residents currently enrolled. Three certification levels — Bronze, Silver and Gold — give municipalities a clear framework for advancing their climate ambitions, while Gold-certified communities set the benchmark for exemplary energy policy. The existing website no longer reflected the scope and reach of this international programme, making a full relaunch the obvious next step.
- TYPO3 relaunch as a multilingual platform in German, English and additional languages
- Interactive municipality database with profiles and performance ratings for all certified communities
- Clear presentation of the three eea certification levels — Bronze, Silver and Gold
- Accessible design meeting WCAG 2.1 — essential for a programme with a public-sector mandate
- SEO for nine target markets and their distinct search habits
- Responsive layout for municipal representatives, energy consultants and the general public
- Structured content covering country overviews, EU cooperation projects and a download hub
- Navigation architecture that guides users from the eea action catalogue through to Gold-certified communities
The result is a platform that puts the European Energy Award where it belongs: visible, accessible and fit for the next generation of climate action. Built with rockit, the site brings the eea process to life for municipalities and residents across nine countries — giving local climate work the digital presence it deserves.
