Energy Cities – Open Days 2011Energy & Territory: from multilevel governance to local agreements

Energy strategy 2020 –
Five priorities• Efficient use of energy
• Integrated energy market
• Secure, safe and affordable energy for consumers
• Technological leadership
• Strong international partnership
33[ Energy networks, diversifying energy sources and increasing energy efficiency ]

Cohesion Policy
Convergence objective: regions with GDP per capita under 75% of the EU average. 81.5% of the funds are spent on this objective.
Regional competitiveness and employment objective.
7
Functioning of Cohesion Policy• European Commission & Member States
negotiated / agreed National Strategic Reference Framework (NSRF) and Operational Programmes (OPs) at national and/or regional level for 2007-2013.
• Member States alone select and implement the projects in line with priorities of the OPs (principle of ‘shared management’).
• Major Projects: Investments of more than € 50 million are submitted and approved by the Commission.
8
• Co-financing rate of 50% (competitiveness regions) or 75/85% (convergence regions) at programme level.
• Different rate for ‘revenue-generating’ projects (possibility also to use revolving financing instruments for such projects)
• EU funds always completed by national, regional, EIB funds.
• Programmes managed by “Managing Authorities” (MAs) at national/regional level. Often national or regional Ministry for finance/economy/regional development.

Cohesion Policy allocations to Energy
2007-2013 total = € 11 billion (3 % of total)
€ 9.2 billion EE & RES plus € 1.8 billion traditional energies & interconnectors.

Energy Efficiency in the “Recovery Package”
• Amendment to ERDF regulation (May 2009)
• Up to 4% of the national ERDF allocation can go to energy efficiency and renewable energy in housing, potentially € 8 billion
• Member States define eligible categories of existing housing, to support social cohesion
• June 2010: Further regulatory amendment to facilitate the use of innovative financial instruments in this area, in addition to JEREMIE and JESSICA (JESSICA initiative also delivering EE & RES investments in the urban context)
12
Uptake of the regulatory amendments
• According to first qualitative assessment by DG REGIO in autumn 2010, activities in this area triggered by the regulatory amendments in BE, BG, EL, FR, IT, LT, MT, NL, PL, PT, UK.
• In addition, EE and LV active in this area already from the outset of the period.
• Some further MS show interest and could take advantage of this new opportunity (DE, ES, HU,…?).
13
Uptake of the regulatory amendments
• Only EL making immediate use of the new financial engineering opportunity by establishing a revolving fund of EUR 300 million to provide repayable assistance for energy efficiency in housing.
• However, it seems like the amendment has triggered further MS interest, as the set-up of additional financial engineering instruments with an energy efficiency and/or renewable energies component is currently considered in BG, DE, HU, SK, UK.
• Also eight JESSICA funds with energy component set up in seven MS: EE, LT, ES, IT, PL, PT, UK.

Refurbishment of social housing (FR)• Investments of € 320 M of ERDF in whole country• Average support by ERDF = € 2,886 per dwelling (14% of total needs)• Impacts:
– generated over € 1 billion in investment in energy performance in social housing in FR
– helped to create and maintain 15,000 local jobs & potentially 31,000 with measures in the pipeline
– 50,000 households with modest incomes supported to fight energy poverty (heating costs reduced on average by 40%)

Revolving fund example Estonia• Switch from grants to a revolving fund
• KredEx (Credit and Export Guarantee Fund of the State) supports this
• Why revolving fund?
•Opportunity for re-usage of the funds
•Funds stay in state
• Loan is needed for reconstruction anyway
•Easier to administer, lower administrative costs
•End-beneficiary is used to take loan
•Innovative scheme, help from kfW
• Started 06/2009
• March 2010: 70 contracts with multi-apartment buildings, total 5,1 mn € (average 74 400 €, 2035 apartments, saving 33%)
1616
JESSICA fund in Lithuania• JESSICA Holding Fund amounts to € 227 million:
– € 127 million ERDF – € 100 million National co-financing– Expected later: some funds by commercial
bank
• Implementation started June 2010
• Planned to modernize 24.000 houses, by the year 2020
• This example:– 45 apartment multi family building– Insulated external walls and roof
Windows replaced– Glazing of balconies– Modernization of heating substation & heating
systems– Energy efficiency improvement of 60 %

European Local Energy Assistance (ELENA) facility – ELENA EIB
• ELENA is a technical assistance facility, providing grants to cities, provinces, regions and entities acting on their behalf, of up-to 90% of eligible costs, for development of bankable sustainable energy investment programmes/projects at their territories. • Minimum leverage factor - 25, as of 2011 - 20• ELENA is financed through the IEE Programme, no call deadlines• Applications sent directly to EIB

ELENA facility: technical assistance for municipalities since 2009
New European Energy Efficiency Fund (EEE F) 265 million
Launched 1st July 2011 (EUR 146 million EERP, + financing
from EIB, CDP and DB). Beneficiaries: Local & regional Public
authorities, but PPPs are possible. Financing in form of loans,
guarantees, forfeiting schemes (to finance ESCO)…
Technical assistance (grant) is available to structure projects.
Also ongoing: DG ENER Impact Assessment on the best financing
instruments for energy efficiency (also with a view to new EU
Financial Framework 2014-2020) as well as an analysis of the
appropriateness of EU funding for the EPBD as requested by the
EPBD Directive
Other EU funding
