Intelligent Energy – Europein a nutshell

€730 million from 2007-13

~ 56 mio EUR for projects in 2010 (50-55 projects)

Supports EU renewable energy and energy efficiency policies and helps reach the 2020 targets

Encourages the uptake of proven intelligent energy solutions

Is not a technology development programme, unlike FP7

A programme to help convert policy into action

Real changes on the ground

EU energy efficiency and

renewables objectives

Creating and spreading effective methods and best practice

Training and education

Know-how transfer

Market intelligence

Inform policy development and implementation

Wanted: projects with a big impact!

What it is that youwant to achieve?

What leverage willyour project have?

What will be different when it is finished?

«Promotion and dissemination project»?

matches the priorities of the IEE Work Programme 2010

involves at least 3 partners from different countries (EU27, Croatia, Norway, Iceland, or Liechtenstein)** check website for new countries

takes 2 to maximum 3 years to deliver

is not a “hardware” type investment or research & development project!

A project which…

Evidence that project has influenced policies, rules or procedures





Funding areas 2010

Local energy leadership

Financing intelligent energy in housing

Local Leadership - Indicators to measure success

Number of local / regional jobs created/maintained in the sustainable energy sector

Number of local authorities' staff with increase capacity and involved in networking activities

Number of new Sustainable Energy Action plans delivered

Increase in local / regional GDP / local business activity, as a result of implementation of SEAPs

Tons of CO2 equivalent reductions, energy savings reached and renewable energy capacity installed, during the project’s duration and results expected after SEAP implementation

Project Examples:

Consumer Behaviour

Renewables in Buildings

Bio-energy Local Action

Project example: Energy Trophy +

Objective: a competition to save energy in offices through simple no-cost means

2007/2008 competition: 158 firms from 17 countries

Massive media campaign

Results: 11% energy saved in average (17.8 GWh over a year)

25.000 employees involved

www.energytrophy.orgSaving energy in the office:so easy, so effective!

Project example - PROSTO

Expected results:• Development of optimized STOs• Pilot implementations of STOs (local show cases) + demonstration of their high impact in five areas: the Region of Lazio and the Cities of Lisbon, Murcia, Stuttgart and Giurgiu• Dissemination of project outcomes to potential new local authorities in Europe• Over 10 new local authorities start concrete implementation on STO

Implementation of five best practice Solar Thermal Ordinances (STOs)

Partners: local authorities, technical and research institutes, solar energy association, energy agencies

Target groups: cities, local and regional authorities

The PROBIO project

Biodiesel Points Card system introduced in 4 provinces in Spain and Slovenia: 1.315 users

261 farmers trained on biodiesel production and use

Facilitation of commercial contracts for a total of 3.5 million Euros

13 new filling stations selling biodiesel Promotional campaign reaching 150.000

people in the involved regions

More than 5.5 million litres of biodiesel put on the market (yearly consumption of more than 3.500 cars)

Driving markets Bringing together potential suppliers,

end-users & financiers Triggering new businesses & installation of new

plants (30 MWth installed & 36.000 t/a CO2-eq saved)

“BEN”

“BIOENERGIS”“MAKE-IT-BE”

11 flagship regions on bioenergy planning

in 7 countries

SUSTAINABLE NOW

Building local capacity development for integrated energy management and implementation of local energy plans.

How? capacity building, peer exchange and reviews in order to create tangible results.

Two Europe-wide circles of Learning and Excellence have been set up.

Local government capacity will be improved and a guidance package developed.

Leading communities, political and administrative bodies in energy transition
