Abstract
The most important issues of the new millennium are the adaption of renewable energies; and the establishment and operation of
social and technical systems that have little impact on the environment. People must undertake to solve this problem during the
establishment of the everyday life of the settlements. In the course of this study, the authors surveyed the documents related to
the energy strategy of the local municipalities of the Northern Great Plain region. This document analysis was supplemented by
interviews. Finally foreign and Hungarian case studies were analyzed, based on the literature, self-collected data and interviews.
The paper presents the good practices for sustainable settlement development based on renewable energies.
