8 8 The Intelligent Energy Europe (IEE) Programme is the Community s non-technological programme in the field of energy efficiency, renewable energy and energy efficiency in transport. The programme contributes to ensuring secure, sustainable energy for Europe, while enhancing European competitiveness. The IEE programme forms part of the EU s Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP) and it s continuation of IEE programme.

9 A programme to help convert policy into action 9 EU energy efficiency and renewables objectives Creating and spreading effective methods and best practice Training and education Know-how transfer Market intelligence Inform policy development and implementation Real changes on the ground 730 million from

10 Which EU programme for which purpose? 10

11 Intelligent Energy Europe as a catalyst 11 Creates the policy and market conditions for rational use of energy, energy efficiency and renewable energy, including in transport Supports uptake of state of the art technologies Exchange between different actors creates innovation from diversity A catalyst t for innovation and new market opportunities

12 Intelligent Energy Europe in figures 12 Budgets: : million : 730 million Maximum funding rate: : 50% since 2007: 75% Projects supported to date: 400+ projects 60 local/regional energy agencies Number of beneficiaries: > 3,000

13 How can you benefit from IEE programme? 13 INDIRECTLY You can be the target group of a project You can benefit from better market conditions You can sponsor a project DIRECTLY You canset up paproject project or participate in one

14 Who can apply for funding? 14 Any public or private organisation established in the EU, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, t i and Croatia (check IEE website) International organisations Natural persons cannot apply

15 IEE - instruments 15 Grants - calls for proposals Procurement call for tenders

17 «Promotion and dissemination project» 17 A project which helps deliver the key EU climate change and energy objectives matches the priorities of the IEE Work Programme involves at least 3 partners from different countries international projects takes 2 to maximum 3 years to deliver is NOT a hardware type investment or research & development project!

18 Funding areas Energy efficiency (SAVE) Buildings Energy-efficient products Industry excellence in energy : Closed in 2009 Mobility (STEER) Alternative fuels and clean vehicles Energy-efficient transport Capacity building in agencies Renewable energy sources (ALTENER) Electricity Biofuels Heating + cooling Small-scale in buildings

19 Funding areas Local leadership European networking for local action Sustainable energy communities Energy Agencies (closed in 2009) Special initiatives Bio-business i Energy services Intelligent energy education CHP (closed in 2009)

20 IEE Programme in Next call for proposals will be published spring The European Info Day will be organised on 3 February 2010 in Brussels. National Info Days in Poland will be organised in marchapril 2010.
