Deadline: 20-Apr-23
The European Commission (EC) is accepting applications for Innovative Solutions for Cost-Effective Decarbonisation of Buildings through Energy Efficiency and Electrification.
Scope
- In line with EU priorities for buildings and the energy system, and with the need to reduce Europe’s energy dependencies, to develop and demonstrate highly cost-efficient, integrated and replicable solutions for decarbonising the thermal energy demand of buildings (i.e. heating and cooling) by means of electrification, ensuring the strict application of the energy efficiency first principle.
Funding Information
-
The check will normally be done for the coordinator if the requested grant amount is equal to or greater than EUR 500 000, except for:
- Public bodies (entities established as a public body under national law, including local, regional or national authorities) or international organisations; and
- Cases where the individual requested grant amount is not more than EUR 60 000 (lowvalue grant).
Outcomes
-
Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:
- Increased application of the energy efficiency first principle in construction and renovation of buildings.
- Increased decarbonisation of building thermal energy demand by means of electrification.
- Enhanced buildings energy performance and (smart) energy management, leading to increased use of locally generated renewable energy and local energy storage.
- Increased number of cost-effective and commercially available solutions for electrification of building thermal energy demand, with significantly lower costs per building unit and significant potential for mass roll-out in Europe.
- Enhanced building contribution to power grid stability by offering energy flexibility services.
Eligibility Criteria
- To become a beneficiary, legal entities must be eligible for funding.
-
To be eligible for funding, applicants must be established in one of the following countries:
- The Member States of the European Union, including their outermost regions,
- The Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs) linked to the Member States,
- Countries associated to Horizon Europe,
- The following low- and middle-income countries.
