Your final chance: Access innovative financing through PROSPECT+
Amplify your local and regional energy and climate actions with financing options beyond traditional subsidies through the PROSPECT+ programme!
Illustration :
The PROSPECT+ project team is inviting local and regional public authorities, along with their energy agencies from the EU27, UK, and H2020 associated countries, to be part of our transformative capacity-building programme centred on innovative financing!
Since its launch in 2017, PROSPECT+ has been a catalyst for change, equipping over 300 participants with crucial skills and knowledge in the ever-evolving realm of energy and climate action financing.
Dive into PROSPECT+’s vibrant ecosystem, where cities, regions, and energy agencies converge in a dynamic peer-to-peer learning network. Engage with an array of innovative financing schemes. These include Energy Performance Contracting, Third-Party Financing, Revolving and Intracting funds, and Cooperatives for energy communities, all aimed at enhancing local and regional energy and climate initiatives.
Innovative financing for energy agencies
The PROSPECT+ programme is entirely free of charge, ensuring accessibility and inclusivity for all. It covers five thematic areas: public buildings, private buildings, public lighting, transport, and cross-sectoral initiatives.
The call opens from 22 January 2024 to 1 March 2024 and the final learning cycle will kick off in May 2024. For your application, you need to submit a letter of support from a political representative (such as a mayor or a director) from either the public authority or the energy agency.
