Build a new Energy Renovation Strategy around the Mediterranean

To meet the challenge of this strategic line, two measures have been defined and will be tested in the experiments of the project:

5.1 - Assign resources

5.2 - Mobilise resources

For more information on the experimentation, please go on "Success stories"

Measure 5.1 - Assign resources

Description:

To establish a classification of investment projects for the project started retrofit buildings in the Mediterranean region, the MARIE project and its partners are focused on finding models of public-private collaboration on the energy renovation in buildings. (PPP and TPF). The classification will be established organize these funding models based on different parameters: Intervention / amount / type targets. 

Objectives:

Define and implement a comprehensive investment program model at EU-MED level for the period 2014-2020.

More specific : the creation of a guide/platform for ERB in the EU-MED area gathering regional investment programmes (PPP/TPF) in order to promote energy renovation of buildings.

Tools / Methods:

Understand the importance of an investment programme at a regional level is build step by step :

1. Overcome the barriers

Definition of solutions to overcome the barriers classified  by the following domains:

• Financial Resources
• Approaching new Financing Tools
• Strategic and policy

     2. Strategic and programmed innovative approach in regard to the action    plans at different scales:

• Pushing forward the ERB sector in the Mediterranean area starting with the policy makers at a regional scale
• Top-down methodology transposing by sub sectors the global objectives for 2020.
• Bottom-up methodology using as basis the Pilot Actions tested in the MED zone.
• Adjusting the regional buildings’ stock and its socio-economical situation.

     3.  Cooperation with Public Administrations of private sector in Investment Plans development

• Description of the opportunities of the contribution of private sector in Investment Plans development
• Definition of the main participation mechanisms of the private sector in Investment Plans development

Ongoing activities and outputs:

• Propose a Guide for the Implementation of Regional Investment Plans along with technical and management support through MEDBEE Offices for the execution of the Regional Investment Plans.
• Proposals for the activation of a green economics sector through the reorientation of the construction work sector towards the ERB.
• Coordinated and programmed action towards reaching the 2020 objectives in the buildings sector in the MED zone.

Strategic Measure 5.1 first will be available in APP in December 2013
Strategic Measure 5.1 final document will be available in APP in June 2014

Measure 5.2 - Mobilise resources

Description and objective:

Define and implement financial mechanisms at EU-MED level to promote the ERB and impulse convergence with national, regional and local levels to concentrate funds for a better efficiency and rise private and public investments in ERB.

Tools / Methods:

• Identification of national, regional and local funds.
• Design and development of a common financial mechanisms (or a mechanism to facilitate the access to existing funds) for the ERB in the MED area.
• Development of regional investment plans for Energy Building Renovation based on Public-Private partnership mechanisms.
• Stimulation of access to finance through private investment mechanisms at building scale.

Ongoing activities and outputs:

Strategic Measure 5.2 first will be available in APP in December 2013
Strategic Measure 5.2 final document will be available in APP in June 2014
