Deadline: 16-Nov-22
The European Commission (EC) is inviting proposals for Setting up facilitation structures to accelerate the renovation wave in the public sector.
Scope
Proposals should establish and operate regional/national facilitation structures, for example one-stop-shops, to accelerate the renovation wave in the public sector (e.g. office buildings, social housing, schools, leisure facilities etc.) covering a larger territory and offering a comprehensive, all-inclusive service from technical, financial to legal advice, procurement and quality assurance of works.
Objective
The public sector plays a key role in delivering the energy transition, with a unique mandate over their public assets and a unique convening power on actors across the value chain. The European Green Deal’s Renovation Wave aims to double the renovation rate of buildings by 2030, which requires also massive investment into the public building stock. Moreover, Member States have to set out measures in their long-term renovation strategies in order to ensure a highly energy efficient and decarbonised national building stock and in order to facilitate the cost-effective transformation of existing buildings into zero-energy buildings. In line with the REPowerEU plan to phase out EU dependence on fossil fuels imports, the public sector is called to play a key role in reducing its energy consumptions through building renovations.
