One-Stop-Shops for clean energy transition

Objective

Supports the creation or replication of One-Stop Shops (OSS) for the clean energy transition in private buildings, in line with the EED, the EPBD, and the Commission Recommendation on one-stop shops. Addresses the gap between fragmented demand (private owners lacking the capacity to navigate complex sustainable-energy improvements) and limited supply (developers facing high delivery costs and limited access to financing).

Market segments (proposals must focus on one)

• Residential buildings owned by a physical person (owner-occupied or rental housing)
• Residential buildings owned by a professional landlord
• Commercial tertiary buildings, in particular those occupied by SMEs

Integrated services typically delivered by an OSS

Technical assessment and renovation design; selection of qualified professionals and contractors; contracting and coordination of works; facilitation and/or provision of financing solutions (e.g. loans); supervision of works, performance verification and quality assurance.

Key requirements

Proposals should establish OSS services that reduce complexity and trigger first investments through pilots, build dedicated structures (legal entities or organisational consortia) capable of delivering end-to-end renovation services, demonstrate sustainable business models that minimise reliance on public funding, and articulate clear progress beyond comparable initiatives in the national context.

What this means for cities and regions

Cities and regional energy agencies often lead or co-found One-Stop Shops, sometimes as joint ventures with banks, installers and chambers of commerce. Single applicant allowed; topic budget €9M at 95% co-financing.
