Date: 26 May 2021 | 11.00 CET
Duration: approx. 2 hours
Energy efficiency finance is considered of outmost importance for the achievement of the EU’s energy and climate objectives. However, it remains a challenge how to identify which investments can foster sustainable growth, while also having the capacity to meet their commitments from the first stages of investments generation.
This was the main focus of the discussion that took place during the Greek Capacity Building Webinar “Triple-A Energy Efficiency Investments: Incorporating the Principles of Sustainable Financing and the EU Taxonomy” which was organised on Wednesday 26 May 2021 at 11.00 CET, by the Horizon2020 project Triple-A: “Enhancing at an Early Stage the Investment Value Chain of Energy Efficiency Projects", supported by Build Back Better Greece.
During the session the following topics were addressed:
- The EU Taxonomy Regulation, setting the stage and allowing to discuss and compare projects through a uniform language.
- The Risk and Mitigation strategies to assess potential future investments.
- An overview of Financial Instruments available that minimise risk and maximize projects potential.
