Financing the Transition

Bridging the investment gap to turn local energy projects into large-scale, climate-smart solutions.

Europe’s energy transition requires massive investments, yet a significant private financing gap remains. Regional and local energy agencies play a crucial role in bridging this gap by aggregating projects, connecting stakeholders, and designing innovative financing schemes that make sustainable investments feasible at scale. From Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) to Project Development Assistance (PDA) and ELENA-supported initiatives, agencies help unlock funding for local energy projects, ensuring that both public and private capital drives the shift to a low-carbon, resilient Europe.
