Energy issues in the European Union have been present since the beginning of the integration process in the bloc. Motivated by the challenges of the 21st century and by the intensification of problems related to energy supply, the European Commission proposed changes that resulted in the profound transformation of energy systems through the proposal of the Energy Union in 2015. In this context, decentralized cooperation projects and actions between Smart Cities have been conducted. These implied associating sub-national dimensions with regional ones for the treatment of energy problems from an efficient and sustainable resource management perspective.

Resumo
Las cuestiones energéticas en la Unión Europea han estado presentes desde los inicios del proceso de integración en el bloque. Motivada por los desafíos del siglo XXI y por la intensificación de problemáticas vinculadas al abastecimiento energético, la Comisión Europea propuso cambios en el abordaje del tema que resulte en una transformación profunda de los sistemas energéticos mediante la propuesta de la Unión de la Energía en 2015. En este contexto, se han desarrollado proyectos y acciones de cooperación descentralizada entre Smart Cities, que implicaron una vinculación entre las dimensiones subnacionales con las regionales para el tratamiento de las problemáticas energéticas desde una perspectiva de gestión eficiente y sostenible de los recursos.
