The Energy Efficiency Work Programme for 2020. Calls for proposals
Almost €120m are made available for energy efficiency projects in the new Work Programme 2020, under the areas of ‘Buildings in Energy Transition’ and ‘Smart and Clean Energy for Consumers’.
With a total of 18 topics in these priority areas, the work programme features a new focus on "Buildings in energy transition", highlighting how decarbonisation of buildings constitute the major challenge of the next decade. At the same time, it continues to focus on digital and smart technologies and innovative financing for energy efficiency as well as supporting public authorities and ensuring the active involvement of consumers in the energy transition.
There will be two deadlines in 2020 for the energy efficiency topics:
Starting on 16 July 2019 proposals can be submitted for the following topics:
- LC-SC3-B4E-1-2020 (CSA) - Towards highly energy efficient and decarbonised buildings
