On the 22nd of January 2024, PROSPECT+ launches the last call for applications for public authorities and energy agencies who want to learn how to leverage various innovative financing options.

As the European Union’s climate and energy targets are increasingly ambitious, public authorities are facing challenges to speed up their energy transformation due to the limited access to subsidies. Other-than-subsidies financing instruments offer an opportunity to avoid delays.
