| Project Title | Capacity Building in Local Authorities for fostering Renewable and Energy Efficiency community projects |
Summary
The project will help to build the capacity and readiness of local and regional authorities to introduce renewable energy and energy efficient solutions into buildings and public infrastructure. It will do this through the development of a new, innovative integrated assessment tool which can be used to assess the feasibility of community renewable energy and energy efficiency projects. Moreover, it will increase the expertise of LA’s by looking at how low carbon technologies are used and how LA’s can support citizens’ behavioural change.
The aims of the project are to:
- support the decision making process of energy community initiatives;
- remove the barriers that can arise during early stage engagement with consultancy groups;
- provide value-added information about project risks that are relevant to the feasibility of project financing;
- support LA’s in strategically identifying initiatives for influencing citizens in adopting low carbon technologies and sustainable behaviour.
Objectives
The objective of the preparatory project is to develop a high quality main project application.
