1. Objectives of the workshop

Understanding the scope of DTP

Challenges and opportunities in the field of energy

Contributions of transnational cooperation

Understanding the Programme Intervention Logic


DTP supports the policy integration in the Danube area below the EU-level and above the national level in specific fields of action. Transnational projects should therefore influence national/ regional/ local policies (“policy drivers”). Transnational cooperation tackling major energy issues with a view to ensure territorial integration and the conditions for improved energy efficiency and security of energy supply. Coordination at regional level to improve strategic management in the energy sector in accordance with EUSDR targets and actions.


2. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE 3.2 IN A NUTSHELL

Improve energy security and energy efficiency

Contribute to the energy security and energy efficiency of the region by supporting the development of joint regional storage and distribution solutions and strategies for incresing energy efficiency and renewable energy use.

IP 7e: Improving energy efficiency and security of supply through the development of smart energy distribution, storage and transmission systems and through the integration of distributed generation from renewable sources.


Context:

dependency on the import of primary energy sources - mainly gas and oil – often imported exclusively from one source

obsolete, inefficient and highly pollutant power and heat generation facilities

exceeded life expectancy of energy transportation and distribution infrastructure (pipelines, power lines, etc.) → 10% losses in majority of the countries → high fees for distribution and transmission

shortage of energy supply

underutilisation of available energy sources, esp. renewable

Western European countries – leaders in energy production (renewable sources – important share) but also bigger consumers


lack of cooperation between Danube countries in the field of energy

relatively low energy efficiency in all sectors of the economy (from industry to household energy consumption)

establishment of functional regional energy markets

more effective regional planning

joint identification of the most critical infrastructure developments

development of smart distribution systems

safeguard energy security


Type of actions to be supported by DTP Development of transnational strategies, action plans, policy frameworks and recommendations

Development of management, coordination, monitoring and reporting tools and energy related services

Preparation of investments to be subsequently financed through other sources*

Pilot activities of testing and demonstration nature

Training and capacity building (learning interactions)

Information, dissemination and publicity measures, public consultations, surveys


Expected results

Improved information sharing and practical coordination of regional energy planning to achieve effective energy distribution and energy storage

Diversification of energy sources including all kinds of renewable energy sources

Higher energy efficiency

4. Project intervention logic Programme intervention logic DTP core principle → result-orientation (= change) Intervention logic → how the change will be achieved: Status quo The change The specific objectives The actions, outputs, stakeholders and target group(s) The results and their durability/ transferability



How to build up the project intervention logic?

In each of the 5 steps, the contribution to:

• Programme specific objective

• Result indicator

• Output indicators

has to be clearly

outlined.


Term Definition

Main objective Describes the strategic and long term change that the project seeks to achieve for the benefit of the target groups.

Specific objective Describes the specific and immediate effects of the project and it can be realistically achieved within the implementation period.

Result Constitutes the immediate advantage of carrying out the project activities, describing the benefit of using the project main outputs. It should indicate the change the project is aiming for.

Output

It tells us what has actually been produced for the money given to the project. It can be captured by a programme output indicator and directly contributes to the achievement of the project results.

Deliverable

A side-product or service of the project that contributes to the development of a project’s main output.


Programme output indicators

1. Horizontal output indicator – mandatory for all the projects:

“documented learning interactions” - the process of acquiring/ enhancing institutional knowledge in transnational cooperation context through joint work aimed at a practical solution, transfer of know-how, capacity building, exchange of experience, peer-reviews or any other type of learning processes

!!! It is expected that each project develops, implements and documents three joint learning interactions


2. Specific programme output indicators – are developed based on a typology of outputs pre-defined at Programme level

A. Strategy:

Starting point: definition of need(s), problem(s)/ challenge(s) common for the participating countries/ regions.

Sets clear mid and long-term objectives and priorities reflecting also the common vision of the Danube Region in the specific field.

Aimed at policy integration in the Danube area in the selected field (i.e. energy) and acting as policy driver below EU level but above national level.

Examples of strategies:

Strategy for the improvement of energy efficiency

Strategy for an enhanced use of renewable energy sources


Action plan:

Breaks down the strategy goals and objectives into specific actions.

Includes the sequence of steps to be taken or activities that must be performed, for the strategy to succeed.

!!! Each developed strategy/ action plan, whether implemented or not during the project lifetime, should be counted only once under the respective output indicator.

*** Project management and communication-related strategies shall not be considered under this output indicator.


B. Tools

The means to achieve a specific task.

Should be jointly developed at transnational level and be innovative.

Can be tangible (physical or technical objects) and intangible (methods, concepts or services).

Examples of tools:

Databases, management concepts, guidelines


C. Pilot action

Practical implementation of newly developed solutions (e.g. services, tools, methods or approaches, even an investment)

It has an experimental nature which aims at testing, evaluating and/or demonstrating the feasibility and effectiveness of a scheme.

A pilot action is limited in its scope (area, duration, scale etc.) and must be unprecedented in a comparable environment.

Examples of pilot actions:

pilot implementation of solutions for energy efficiency

piloting/ testing of newly developed technologies/ tools/ services etc.


5. Hints for developing a successful project

Idea first Financing

instrument after

Set a limited number of S.O.

Build on the past, but look into the future

Plan carefully

the resources

Think strategically both in terms

of partnership and content
