• Central and East Europe (Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovenia and Slovakia), where again the first Call will finance up to 11 beneficiaries;
• South Europe (Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Malta, Portugal, Spain), with up to 8 beneficiaries financed through the first Call.

A lump sum of €60,000 will be given to successful applicants for the implementation of energy audits, feasibility studies, market analysis, legal analysis, etc.
