Why should you join?
Public authorities can use many innovative financing instruments to speed up their energy transition.
Because choosing the right option may be challenging at first, on 5 December, three experienced PROSPECT+ mentors from Austria, Italy and Spain will explain how to plan and implement projects using energy performance contracting (working with ESCOs), soft loans, blended finance and citizen finance (energy communities).
Join us on 5 December 2024 from 10.00 to 12.00 to learn about preparing successful projects and to get tips on how to avoid mistakes.
This will be the last Replication Webinar open to the general public. You will get a chance to listen to and talk to Megan, Miguel and Marco who have supported many cities across Europe by generously sharing their experience and hosting study visits.

About PROSPECT+
PROSPECT+ (“From learning to action!”) brings together 200 local and regional authorities to share their experience with innovative financing instruments for implementing sustainable energy and climate action plans. The project focuses on innovative financing with a strong focus on the crucial aspects of capacity building, decision-making and replication processes.
