Overview of Europe 2020 Strategy


EE / RES within Europe 2020EU2020 Priority: Sustainable growth - promoting a more resource efficient, greener and more competitive economy”

Flagship initiative "Resource efficient Europe„ advises MSs to use regulation, performance standards and market-based instruments (taxation, subsidies and procurement) to reduce the use of energy and resources and to utilize structural funds to invest in energy efficiency in public buildings and in more efficient recycling.

Thematic Objectives will be the basis for priorities of all funding programme – the 2 (out of 11) relevant objectives :

– Protecting the environment and promoting resource efficiency– Supporting the shift towards a low-carbon economy in all sectors


EE / RES within Danube Strategy• Relevance: 4 out of 5 GovernEE partners located in Danube Region• Danube Strategy is a macro-regional strategy: durable cooperation

framework allowing policy makers to improve their cooperation and thus the effectiveness of EU, national and local policies

• Relevant Thematic Priority (2) “Encourage more sustainable energy” • Relevant actions of the Action Plan include promotion of e.g.:

• EE and use of RES in buildings and heating systems - renovating district heating and combined heat & power facilities (Energy Performance of the Buildings & Renewable Energy Directive)

• Cooperation between national authorities to increase the use of RES : research, exchange of experiences, dissemination of information

Currently open project generation facility!DEADLINE: 10 September

Conclusions on funding programmes 1/4Regional Development - Territorial cooperation

KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGEINTERREG 5C - URBACT

CENTRAL - DANUBE P - CBCs

Relevance for the GovernEE partnership: all include the energy related

topics relevant for GovernEE, provide good opportunities to carry on

GovernEE results, building on experience of current cooperation

Focus: regional policies, exchange of knowledge & best practices

Actions funded: INTERREG 5 C and URBACT: Soft cooperation Regional and

urban policies Transnational and CBC: more practice oriented programmes

also provide scope for smaller scale investments.

Beneficiaries: Public authorities key beneficiaries, partnership to be adapted

to different geographical scope and type of organisations required by the

programmes


Project example 1Funding programme INTERREG 5C URBACT

Type of activities Best practices, study visits; Policy Recommendations; Development, endorsement, implementation & evaluation of local / regional Action Plans;

Local Action Plan development, Local Action Groups, Exchange of best practices; Study visits

Partnership size 10-15 partners 10 (maximum 12) partners

Type of partnership Regional and / or national level public authorities are needed

More European cities to be involved: local or regional authorities and limited number of knowledge organisations

Geographical coverage Wide coverage from EU27 Wide coverage from EU27

Budget € 1.5 – 2.5 millionCo-financing depending on region

€ 1 million Co-financing of probably 70%

Duration 3 + 2 years (2 phases) 6 months project preparation + 2.5 years project implementation


Project example 2Funding programme CENTRAL / Danube Programme CBC

Type of activities joint methodologies, strategies, etc..;PP level cadastre and databank, EMO; small pilot investments (test selected aspects of EE refurbishment); monitoring of results; Revise LAPs; Staff exchange, study visits

Joint methodologies, strategies and guidelines; PP level cadastre, databank, EMO; potentially larger scale pilot investments at partner locations including refurbishment and installing monitoring systems; Revise LAPs, study visits

Partnership size 10-15 partners 3 - 5 partners

Type of partnership Similar to GovernEE partnership Public (local or regional) authoritiesknowledge organisations and NGOs

Geographical coverage CENTRAL: the current GovernEE Danube Programme: GovernEE partner coverage to be altered

Partners from both sides of the relevant border area

BudgetCo-financing

€ 2 – 3 million Co-financing depending on region

€ 1 – 3 millionCo-financing depending on region

Duration 3 years 2 - 3 years


Conclusions on funding programmes 2/4Research and Innovation Horizon 2020 - LIFE+

IEE

Relevance for the GovernEE partnership: research projects can be linked to

small scale demo / pilot projects implemented by local authorities

Focus: research, demonstration of innovative technologies

Actions funded: Research activities; Demonstrating, piloting developed

technologies through small scale investments; Monitoring and Evaluation of

the demonstrated technologies . Demonstration and pilot financed through

LIFE+ and maybe IEE

Beneficiaries: Partnership to be adapted to type of action: Knowledge

organisation in case of research project, Public authorities in case of LIFE+

demonstration. Private sector participation encouraged.


Conclusions on funding programmes 3/4Awareness raising

Training and educationIEE, ERASMUS for All

Transnational programmes

Relevance for the GovernEE partnership: Knowledge accumulated through

GovernEE can be transferred and disseminated through these programmes

& education, Transnational: regional development angle: human &

institutional capacities and improved service portfolio of PAs

Actions funded: Training and education (curricula, materials,

implementation), exchange of experience, awareness raising actions

(information materials, web platforms)

Project topic: Sustainable refurbishment of public (historic) buildings through the use of EE and RES solutions Financing: funds available mostly through national level- National OPs (sectoral or regional development) developed in line

with Partnership Agreement per country- EIB Funds: Programmes such as ELENA, JESSICA can provide

additional funding for large investments in the field of EE and RES- Integrated tools will also be created such as ITI to finance large scale

and complex developments including energy targeted refurbishments

- Mixed funding including third party (private) financing will play a major role during the next programming period
