Over the next years, energy investments of about 1 trillion EUR are needed to diversify existing energy resources, replace old technologies and equipment and to accomplish the ambitious goals for energy efficiency in the EU set up by the Strategy Europe 2020.
As a result of the economic crisis many investments in energy remain uncertain. The need for financial mechanisms to support energy efficiency and the use of renewables on a larger scale is very real and the European Commission has recognised this by creating a range of new financing possibilities for energy projects.
Experienced practitioners from among others
• DG Energy, European Commission • European Investment Bank • European Research Area Committee (ERAC)
will provide participants with first-hand knowledge of
• What are the current financial instruments supporting projects in the field of energy efficiency and renewables available for public authorities? • What are the specific requirements to receive funding? • Where and how can you apply for EU funding? • Which projects are eligible? • How can structural and cohesion funds be used for energy projects? • What EIB instruments exist and how can they be used (e.g. JESSICA)? • What is the European Energy Efficiency Fund and what are the eligibility and selection criteria? • How can public-private partnerships be use for energy projects? • How can energy performance contracting be used for energy projects?
