Module content and objectives

The aim of this module is to develop the core skills and competences of Energy Agencies to utilise a variety of financial mechanisms, models and instruments to implement sustainable energy projects. Special focus will be given to financial mechanisms for three types of projects:

  1. Modernisation of street lighting (Smart-EPC model);
  2. Deep retrofit of public and residential buildings (PPP and various EPC models);
  3. Building integrated and stand alone PV systems and other renewable energy technologies (PPA model).

The programme will provide an overview of financial mechanisms and instruments, with emphasis on types of support which Energy Agencies can provide to enable projects to be progressed from concept through to implementation.  Financing tools and solutions will be introduced and case studies provided of successful applications of funding models in regions across Europe. The module will draw on experiences and knowledge from a range of relevant and successful EU Initiatives and Projects.

The module will focus on projects with investment levels in the region of €10-30 M, as these fit very well within current available PDA schemes (LIFE PDA calls as well as ELENA facility).

This Master Class will be delivered by experts from the North-West Croatia Regional Energy and Climate Agency (REGEA), supported by guest speakers.

 

The module was already successfully organised in October 2023. Check out the video below and our summary report to get a sneak peak of the Class!
