Opis
Objective
Project Development Assistance (PDA) provides technical assistance to convert sustainable-energy project ideas into actual investments. Supports public and private project developers in delivering ambitious, scalable sustainable-energy investments — typically aimed at mobilising private capital using public funds as a catalyst. PDA-developed pipelines contribute to the implementation of the EED, EPBD, Renewable Energy Directive, the Clean Industrial Deal, the Affordable Energy Action Plan and REPowerEU.
Investment sectors that can be supported
- Existing residential buildings, including rental, social housing and district-level renovation
- Existing non-residential buildings — public buildings, hospitals, academies, defence facilities, commercial buildings
- Decarbonisation and modernisation of existing district heating/cooling networks, including low-temperature renewable extensions
- Digitalisation and modernisation of existing local electricity grids — energy efficiency, renewables, electrification of demand (including industry)
- Decarbonisation and energy efficiency improvements in existing public infrastructure (water and wastewater)
- Industry, businesses and services — SMEs and industrial clusters going beyond business-as-usual
- Decentralised renewable electricity and other renewables directly replacing solid or fossil-fuel use
- Organisational innovation — facilitation structures, project development units, one-stop-shops, aggregation models
- Financial engineering — leveraging private investment, blending public and private finance, novel risk-sharing arrangements
What this means for cities and regions
A direct instrument for cities and regional energy agencies seeking to convert their pipeline of sustainable-energy ideas (often from a SECAP or LHCP) into bankable investment programmes. Can also implement investment concepts developed under the European City Facility or earlier LIFE CET projects. Single applicant allowed; topic budget €8M at 95% co-financing. The application requires a mandatory table of investments.
