Support for:
• 343 cooperation projects since 2001 with 1167
companies involved
• To develop innovation project ideas, identify
project partners, develop project proposals,
implement project and disseminate results
• Examples of results: new brick system with
certificate of Passive House Institute Darmstadt,
completion of a production line for prefabricated
timber constructed houses in passive house
standard, a chimney for fresh air ventilation system
•
Physical investments to demonstrate passive house technology: office
building in passive house standard, a prototype 1.000 m² supermarket,
passive house village

 Focused on energy
efficiency, waste and
decentralised energy as the
“3 biggest carbon reduction
opportunities for London”
Governed by

•
Strengthening research, technological development and innovation
Enhancing access to, and use and quality of, information and communication
technologies
Enhancing the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises, the
agricultural sector (for the EAFRD) and the fisheries and aquaculture sector (for
the EMFF)
Supporting the shift towards a low-carbon economy in all sectors
Promoting climate change adaptation, risk prevention and management
Protecting the environment and promoting resource efficiency
Promoting sustainable transport and removing bottlenecks in key network
infrastructures
Promoting employment and supporting labour mobility
Promoting social inclusion and combating poverty
Investing in education, skills and lifelong learning
Enhancing institutional capacity and an efficient public administration

Investment Priorities
• Supporting the shift towards a low carbon economy in all sectors:
(ERDF/CF/ETC)
– Production and distribution of renewable energy
– Energy efficiency and renewable energy in SMEs
– Energy efficiency and renewable energy in public infrastructures and residential
buildings (only ERDF)
– Smart distribution systems as well as low-carbon strategies for urban areas

Ex-ante conditionalities
Applicability: supporting energy efficiency and renewable energy use in public
infrastructures, including in public buildings, and in the housing sector
Conditonality: Actions have been carried out to promote cost-effective improvements of
energy end use efficiency and cost-effective investment in Energy efficiency when
constructing or renovating buildings.
Criteria for fulfilment:
•
•
•
Measures to ensure minimum requirements are in place related to the energy
performance of buildings consistent with Article 3 (methodology for calculating energy
performance), Article 4 (setting minimum energy performance requirements) and
Article 5 (calculation of cost-optimal levels) of Directive 2010/31/EU.
Measures necessary to establish a system of certification of the energy performance
of buildings consistent with Article 11 of Directive 2010/31/EU.
Measures consistent with Article 13 of Directive 2006/32/EC on energy end-use
efficiency and energy services to ensure the provision to final customers of individual
meters in so far as it is technically possible, financially reasonable and proportionate
12
in relation to the potential energy savings.

• shift towards a low carbon economy
• research & innovation
6%
• competitiveness of SMEs
6%
80%
50%
20%
More developed & transition regions
Less developed regions
+ 4% limit on investment in housing abolished

Supporting the shift towards a low carbon economy in all sectors
Key targets and objectives:
• Link to EU 2020 headline targets
• Reference to 2050 Low Carbon Economy Roadmap
• Reference to Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, Energy
Services Directive, Renewable Energy Directive and SET Plan

Key actions for the ERDF
• Energy performance contracting
• Key actions for the ERDF and Cohesion Fund:
• EE and RES-H and in public buildings, in particular for demonstration
and deep renovation
• EE and RES in SMEs
• Innovative RES technologies (SET-Plan, Energy Roadmap 2050, third
generation biofuels)
• Marine-based RES
• Integrated low carbon strategies and SEAPs for urban areas

General implementation principles:
• Focus not only on 2020 but also on 2050 targets
• Bulk of investment should be made by private sector, public funding should
complement and leverage private funding and avoid crowding out
• Financial instruments should be supported where potential for revenue
generation of cost-savings is large
Complementarity and coordination:
• ETS, especially NER300 and other auctioning revenues
• LIFE, especially integrated projects
• Synergies with actions in other TOs, including R&I, SME support, etc.

• etc.
Different types of financing
• grants
• Financial instruments, e.g.
loans, interest rate subsidy,
