La gran oportunidad que supone la nueva directiva europea

Organised by Fundacion energias renovables and Energy Cities

Bajo el lema “No perdamos otra oportunidad” la plataforma europea Energy Cities y la Fundación Renovables organizan en Madrid el próximo 4 de abril la jornada de trabajo “Eficiencia energética en edificios públicos: la gran oportunidad que supone la nueva Directiva europea para España” enmarcada en el proyecto MEDNICE, cofinanciado por el Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER).

Programme

Organised as part as part of EnergySHIFTS.

This Workshop intends to be a pressure cooker on social innovation in the energy transition.

This invitation-only workshop will bring together a group of 20-25 academics, policymakers and practitioners from across Europe working on and with social innovations and their role in and for the energy transition.

This worhshop is organised as part as part of EnergySHIFTS, a follow up of the ShapeEnergy platform, a EU-funded platform to promote the uptake of the knowledge of the Social Sciences and Humanities in the energy sector.

The project will start in April 2019 (no website yet).

This webinar will be of particular interest to community energy practitioners and cooperatives, public authorities, regional energy agencies and building owners and management associations.
With:
- An introduction from EASME, The Executive Agency for Small and Medium Enterprises, European Commission;
- Daan Creupelandt, Coordinator at REScoop.eu will share experience from the RESCOOP-MECISE project, working with cooperatives to develop projects for renewable energy and energy efficiency and setting up a financial facilitation service for all European energy cooperatives
- Esther Bollendorff, Communications Manager at ENERGIRIS will talk about the easyCOPRO project, which uses an innovative cooperative financing mechanism to accelerate the energy renovation of residential condominiums
- Carlo Allevi, Operations Manager with WeAreStarting will present a case study on the use of equity crowdfunding for non-domestic building renovation

The H2020 work programme for 2018-2020 includes a new topic on “Integrated Home Renovation Services”, in addition to the other topics on Energy Efficiency Finance.

In September this year, EUR 10 million are available to support the creation, expansion or replication of “one-stop-shops” and cover the whole “customer journey” of home renovation.

In order to help potential applicants understand this new topic, the CoMO and EASME co-organise a a specific webinar to present the concept of a ‘one stop shop’ for home energy renovation, main features and expectations for this topic, as well as examples of successful projects including those selected in the 2018 call for proposals.

Conference/Workshop co-organised by URBACT and the City of Madrid
Starting in 2015, the City of Madrid has hosted an online platform called Decide Madrid. This is designed to promote transparency and to widen public participation in the city’s decision-making and investment processes. It is one of a new and growing generation of open source civic technologies emerging across Europe’s cities.
Participants will have the opportunity to learn from Madrid’s experience – including things they would have done differently. The focus will include not only the digital dimension, but also the process and governance issues arising from the Decide Madrid model. This interactive and practical event will include the chance to consider options to adapt Madrid’s lessons in other cities.

Are you a local authority considering taking action for better energy efficiency? Are you looking for ways to fund your action to plan a transition roadmap with a long-term horizon (2050) to inform development /implementation of SEAPs/SECAPs?

Without the right policies in place to support the deployment of energy efficient systems, the innovative solutions that cities develop may only have a limited and/or slow impact. Furthermore, depending on the climate goals set at the local, national and international levels, the policies and regulations needed will vary. What is certain is that a decisive legal framework needs to be put in place by the relevant authorities when developing their strategic energy plans.
