The island of Omø was included in Slagelse municipality’s climate plan and was chosen as “Energy Island” in 2011.

The aim of the project was to investigate how a municipality can support its citizens in the transition towards climate-friendly development and fewer CO² emissions.

The local islanders of Omø were involved in different energy efficiency projects including the installation of several private sun cell facilities and heat-pumps.

The project ran until the end of 2013.
