Each participant (CISA, Saxon Energy Agency – SAENA GmbH and District of Olawa) shortly presented itself and the projects already carried out. Many subjects were discussed, all of them listed on a meeting agenda agreed in advance, dealing especially with the overall objective of FIPREC which is to contribute to solving the applicative problems in public-private partnership and project financing, which have arisen in the energy sector interventions, especially where the financial return require a long time.

During the meeting it came out the great importance of the exchange of experiences as a powerful instrument to suggest new financial instruments, by potential and requirements of energy saving contracting.

Then each participant was able to present its own sub-project ideas. Challenges and opportunities have been discussed and further information provided. Deadlines and responsibilities were assigned to all partners.

Furthermore, at the end of meeting, CISA showed other SPP the Civic Center in Porretta Terme as an example of energy efficient building.
