EU LIFE Info Session Clean Energy Transition

The calls for LIFE Clean energy transition are expected to be published as of Mid-May.

On 1 June 2023, CINEA will organise a dedicated virtual information session on the specificities of the calls for Clean energy transition.

The LIFE Clean Energy Transition sub-programme has a budget of nearly €1 billion over the period of 2021-2027 and aims at facilitating the transition towards an energy-efficient, renewable energy-based, climate-neutral and -resilient economy by funding coordination and support actions (Other Action Grants) across Europe. These are actions of high EU added-value, which are targeted at breaking market barriers that hamper the socio-economic transition to sustainable energy, and typically engage multiple small and medium-sized stakeholders, multiple actors including local and regional public authorities and non-profit organisations, as well as consumers.

Projects are co-financed under the LIFE Clean Energy Transition sub-programme in the following five areas of intervention:

• Building a national, regional and local policy framework supporting the clean energy transition; 
• Accelerating technology roll-out, digitalisation, new services and business models and enhancement of the related professional skills on the market; 
• Attracting private finance for sustainable energy; 
• Supporting the development of local and regional investment projects;
• Involving and empowering citizens in the clean energy transition.
