GRACE - Grants and other incentives for cost and energy efficiency

SP 5 - GRACE
Grants and other incentives for cost and energy efficiency


The aim of the sub-project GRACE is to analyse costs and real impact of public and private funding schemes focused on energy efficiency for citizens and communities in the participating regions. 

Running programmes will be evaluated in terms of involved beneficiaries, satisfaction of beneficiaries, saved energy and reduced carbon dioxide emissions. The sub-project partners will promote successful examples of local and private initiatives, e.g. promising projects of communities for their citizens. Results from pilot projects in the partner regions concerning new financial instruments, including revolving funds and tax-related measures, will be analysed in detail.

At the end of the project, the partners will summarise all findings and formulate suggestions on how to further develop existing programmes or to establish new funding schemes. They will use the gained knowledge to improve their regional advisory service, promote innovative financing instruments and support citizens and communities to select the right programme.
