Located in Italy’s Lazio region, Orte is renowned for its medieval and Renaissance architecture. As a member of the Biodistretto della Via Amerina e delle Forre, the municipality is committed to preserving cultural and environmental heritage.
The GINNGER project focuses on renovating the historic Palazzo dell’Orologio, improving connections between Orte station and the city centre, and improving the energy efficiency of two public buildings (a school and a gym) and two private condos.
With Biodistretto’s support, the municipality is developing a Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan (SECAP) to create local renewable energy communities and promote sustainable mobility, aiming to reduce CO2 emissions, lower energy consumption, and increase citizen participation.

The action
Through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, the municipality is currently renovating one of the city’s historical symbols. This action involves building renovation with a focus on energy efficiency, seismic improvement, rationalisation of spaces, and overall redevelopment.
GINNGER’s role
We will engage all relevant stakeholders to generate recommendations and best practices and we will use this participatory approach for other renovations on cultural heritage buildings.
The action
Installing renewable energy sources (RES) in public buildings (a public school and a gym) and two private condos. Moreover, the Municipality aims to use these interventions for the creation of local renewable energy communities.
