Main Conclusions
#MED_EUSEW15
In the framework of the recent edition of the European Sustainable Energy Week 2015, the MED Programme organized the side-event: Innovation for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency solutions in Mediterranean regions and cities (Brussels 18th June 2015). The main objective of the workshop was to discuss on achieved results delivered by fourteen transnational projects addressing the promotion and use of renewable energy and energy efficiency in the Mediterranean. These fourteen projects were co-financed by the MED Programme and have supposed an investment of about 30M€. In addition, the workshop allowed deep reflections about capitalisation alternatives of presented results as well as key considerations on how to increase their impact in coming years. The discussion took place in a crucial moment characterized by the following aspects:
Participant projects are in final stage of activities, therefore delivering key and conclusive results expected to be continued, adapted and/or improved in the short term.
The MED Programme is currently closing the period 2007-2013 and preparing the new programming cycle 2014-2020. Thus, achieved results of first period are considered as valid inputs to motivate new project proposals within a capitalisation approach.
The fact of organizing the workshop in the framework of EUSEW2015 meant additional visibility of MED Programme as well as its projects, related results and new funding possibilities for the coming years.
The conclusions of the event are summarized around two strands as follows:
1. Results of MED Programme projects in Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency, the current picture.
In general, presented results were achieved from common concerns analyzed by partners and projects in their specific fields of intervention. These results were obtained under a multidisciplinary framework approach engaging partners and stakeholders of several backgrounds (e.g. universities, public authorities, energy agencies, economic operators, etc). Participant projects and partners have identified specific target groups to whom activities were addressed. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and public authorities were notably those who were more benefited with projects’ interventions. As MED Programme is not an infrastructure-oriented programme, it is accurate to remark that soft-actions and related results were notably present in the working plans of projects. These soft-actions were concretized for example through:
Common methodologies, diagnostic analysis and studies around common challenges (e.g. increasing renewable energy contribution and improving energy efficiency). Benchmarking reports on energy management in Mediterranean territories with specific added value of transnationality. Pilot actions implemented to test innovative measures and new technologies (e.g. solar energy, materials). Political agreements engaging stakeholders and policy makers leading to motivate higher commitment towards the increase of sustainable energy. Awareness raising campaigns and training activities addressed to key public targets (e.g. enterprises). Capitalisation activities aiming at replicating, adapting and improving already achieved results.
Furthermore, presented results demonstrated to be the consequence of good transnational cooperation atmosphere evidenced by partnerships through the projects’ duration (three years on average). This transnational approach has also allowed a good level of coherence with European initiatives of reference such as Covenant of Mayors, projects of Intelligent Energy and FP7 programmes, European Agency for Small and Medium Enterprises (EASME) and funding opportunities of European Investment Bank. For more information about specific results of projects, please see annex 1 at the end of this document.
2. Heading to the period 2014-2020, the future challenges. In the period 2007-2013, the MED Programme co-financed twenty-eight projects addressing renewable energy and energy efficiency in the Mediterranean area. These projects, experiences, activities and results represent a clear capitalisation bridge with the new programming period 2014-2020. Conclusions of this workshop are extracted from a sample of fourteen projects which suppose half of programme contribution.
Aiming at optimizing the impact of existent and future results, the new Interreg MED Programme approach integrates structural changes linked to projects’ architecture and more work on “community”. Thematic concentration, specific objectives and results indicators are also part of Interreg MED programme strategy. (See call for projects of new Interreg MED Programme here). Future project proposals shall adapt also their strategies according to these programme drivers. Ms. Anna Repullo from DG REGIO highlights the work and commitment of MED Programme for the coming years while indicates that INTERREG Programmes family is extensive enough to put in practice the capitalisation of already achieved results all over Europe. Taking as reference the Mediterranean basin, in the period 2014-2020 there will be fifteen different INTERREG Programmes in interregional, transnational and crossborder strands. Stronger strategies of visibility, communication and capitalisation are suggested to future projects. Better use of virtual channels and social media would substantially help to achieve higher quotas of targeted audiences. As example, the Committee of the Regions is currently organizing the first Massive Online Open Course (MOOC) on regional policy. Mr. Wolfgang Petzold believes that these kind of actions respond to the rapid evolution of information management and communication. (More info on MOOC course here). In addition, Ms. Alexandra Sombsthay of DG ENERGY indicates that European territorial cooperation (ETC) projects have a great capacity to work at local level and better connect European Union policies with a diversified typology of audiences. An immediate possibility of contributions from projects to EU policies can take place through participation in (and dissemination of) public consultations organized by DG ENERGY. Currently, there is an ongoing public consultation in Evaluation of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive. (More info here). Talking about specific action on renewable energy and energy efficiency, Ms. Maud Skäringer of DG REGIO indicates that European Cohesion Policy will double the low carbon economy investments. European Regional Development Fund and Cohesion Fund will together allocate € 38 billion in the period 2014-2020 in low carbon actions. European territorial cooperation programmes and projects will play an important role for exchange of knowledge of renewable energy and energy efficiency. (More info in the ppt presentation of reference) Aiming at facilitating funding complementarities with MED Programme, Mr. Antonio Almagro of European Investment Bank (EIB) positively perceives the presented results and considers that they would be adapted towards project preparation and technical assistance requirements needed to obtain EIB funding in areas of renewable energy and energy efficiency. (More info in the ppt presentation of reference) On behalf of the EASME, Ms. Agata Kotkowska highlights the cooperation already stablished between MED Programme and EASME, particularly in the area of energy efficiency in buildings. Future synergies could be applied by considering existent results obtained in the framework of Intelligent Energy Programme (http://ec.europa.eu/energy/intelligent/projects/) as well as current initiatives managed by the agency (e.g. European portal for energy efficiency in buildings, urban mobility observatory and Managenergy). Ms. Kotkowska also sees the horizontal projects approach of the new Interreg MED Programme as a clear possibility of cooperation with EASME. (More info in the ppt presentation of reference). Mr. Miguel Morcillo, representative of Covenant of Mayors initiative indicates that 76% of CoM signatories (about 4888 municipalities) are located in the MED Programme area meaning that there is already substantial activity in political commitment and energy planning. The challenge is to improve the implementation capacity of sustainable energy action plans. Mr Morcill o suggests also that multil-level governance approach is giving positive results and MED programme would offer possibilities for testing them.

and
THE PROJECT IN A NUTSHELL
MAIN THEME: “cool” materials for buildings and urban pavements with high and certified capacity to reflect solar radiation (the so-called cool roof and cool pavements) can effectively counter overheating of Mediterranean cities. PARTNERSHIP: 12 partners (universities, public administrations, public agencies, associations of enterprises, a professional school) from 4 countries (France, Greece, Italy, Spain). TARGET GROUP(S): technicians of the construction sector, manufacturers of building materials and building elements, policy makers, end users. OBJECTIVE: dissemination of “cool” materials (cool roof, cool pavements) through qualification of key links in the chain: products, technicians, business proposals.
with the support of the projects
and
THE PROJECT STORY
BACKGROUND: • The world is urbanizing (50% of world population lives in cities, 7080% in developed countries). • The world is also warming up (due to the greenhouse effect). • Urban areas are getting even warmer than the surrounding world (the so-called urban heat island effect – UHI) due to high solar absorption of built surfaces. • Outcomes are increased energy needs for air conditioning, discomfort, and diseases. • “Cool roof” and “cool pavements”, i.e. materials and elements with high and certified capacity to reflect solar radiation, are an effective, intelligent countermeasure to UHI. • Such intelligent materials are still underused in Europe, notwithstanding a climate favorable to their use and a relatively wide availability of commercial products. PARTNERSHIP: in 2012, 12 partners from 7 urban areas of 4 countries decided to launch the Project MAIN – MAtériaux INtelligents, aimed at disseminating “cool” materials.

Regi onal Pol i cy
Cohesion Policy 2014-2020
How it works
• Commission and Member States agree on Partnership Agreements at national level and Operational Programmes (OPs) at national/regional level. • Programmes managed by Managing Authorities at national/regional level. Often national or regional Ministry for finance/economy/regional development. • EU funds always complemented by public or private funding – national, regional level or EIB. Overall co-financing rates at programme level between 50% (more developed) and 85% (less developed regions). • Member States alone select and implement projects in line with priorities of the OPs (principle of 'shared management'). However, 'major projects', i.e. investments with total eligible costs over € 50 million / € 75 million (depending on investment field), are submitted and approved by the Commission. • Monitoring Committees (MCs) monitors implementation of OPs, Commission participates in advisory capacity. Regi onal Pol i cy
6
State of play of programming 2014-2020 • Commission and Member States agree on Partnership Agreements at national level and Operational Programmes at national/regional level • All 28 Partnership Agreements adopted in 2014 • 205 Operational Programmes (OPs) with ERDF and CF (for which DG REGIO is lead) planned, out of which 169 already adopted in 2014 or 2015 (as of 1/6/2015) • One or several outstanding OPs in seven Member States • Also 76 European Territorial Cooperation ('Interreg') programmes planned, out of which 27 already adopted 7 (as of 1/6/2015) Regi onal Pol i cy
Cohesion Policy 2014-2020
Sustainable Energy
• ERDF and CF to allocate € 38 billion to investments in lowcarbon: energy efficiency and renewable energy, smart distribution grids and sustainable urban mobility, including research and innovation (only ERDF) in those areas in complementarity with Horizon 2020. • ERDF support also, mainly in less developed regions, to remove bottlenecks in key network infrastructures, including smart energy distribution, storage and transmission systems, in complementarity with the Connecting Europe Facility. Some € 2 billion expected. • ESF support to ensure that people can adapt, through acquiring appropriate skills and through lifelong learning opportunities, to new challenges such as the transition to a low-carbon and more energy-efficient economy. • The other European Structural and Investment Funds, European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) and European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF), also to invest 8 almost € 8 billion in low-carbon.

Implementation Principles
Sustainable Energy
• Ensure that public funding complements private investment, leveraging it and not crowding it out, in accordance with State aid rules • Consider creating value for energy savings through market mechanisms before public funding • Financial instruments, such as loans, guarantees or equity, to be used for projects with revenue generation or cost savings potential • Grants to be used primarily for social objectives, to support innovative technologies and investments going beyond legal minimum energy requirements, thus making sure that energy savings and greenhouse gas emission reductions are above those with "business as usual" • Financial instruments and grants can be combined in the 10 same project Regi onal Pol i cy
Financial Instruments
Increased role
• Possibilities for using financial instruments have been extended and facilitated for 2014-2020 • The Commission encourages use of financial instruments to shift from a grant-based approach and increase leverage and revolving effects • The Investment Plan recommends Member States to deliver 20% of the ESI Funds allocations to low-carbon through financial instruments • The Roadmap for the Energy Union includes an action point to strengthen the targeted use of financial instruments to support investments in energy efficiency 11 Regi onal Pol i cy
Research and innovation (R&I) in low-carbon • Essential for achieving the EU climate and energy targets • Offers important opportunities for regional development Supported by Cohesion Policy More than 100 regions / Member States plan to invest
• Strategic use of the funds, prioritisation and broad stakeholders engagement needed 'Smart Specialisation Strategies' Links with SET-Plan / Smart Cities / Horizon 2020 Regi onal Pol i cy
Research and Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialisation (RIS3) • What is my region/country best at? How to be competitive using our strengths? Can we combine our efforts with other regions/countries?
(1) Analysis
• 'Entrepreneurial discovery' with all relevant stakeholders • Continuous, bottom-up participatory process
(2) Process
(6) Monitoring

Why Energy Efficiency? • EU imports 53% of energy needs at an annual cost of around €400 billion (first energy importer in the world) • Largest single source of energy demand is heating and cooling, which takes the majority of Europe's gas imports • 1% of energy saved = 2.6% reduction in gas imports ENERGY EFFICIENCY AS EUROPE’S FIRST FUEL
• When energy saved comes from fossil fuels, energy efficiency contributes to reduce GHG emissions
6
Policy Background • Energy Union : energy efficiency as one of the pillars • European Council - October 2014 : indicative target at the EU level of at least 27% for improving energy efficiency in 2030 • European Council - October 2014 : target at the EU level of at reduction of 40% GHG emissions by 2030 • EFSI : energy efficiency as one of the sectors singled out in the outcome of the trilogue between Council, Parliament and Commission
7
Where are the potential savings? • Buildings account for ~ 40% of EU final energy consumption, transport for ~33% and industry for ~26%
• Given low annual new build rate (1.5%), pressure is on building renovation.
• Typical investments: • Building envelope and HVAC • [Also, street lighting, district heating, urban transport, energy efficiency in industry]
8
What are the investment needs? Estimated energy efficiency investments by sector in bn EUR to comply with new 2030 framework of 40% GHG target:

• Framework loans (intermediated) – to promote aggregation and crowding in of commercial lending
• Investment funds (equity) – to catalyse private investors
• Technical assistance – typically upstream, with of without links to operations
11
Eligibility of investments • Classical Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) taking into account externalities
• [Rule of 50% when difficult to separate energy efficiency investments from total project cost] • One simplification to CBA : consistency of cost-optimal levels in thermal rehabilitation of buildings • Includes support to: • existing technologies in new markets (e.g. NZEB)
• new technologies (e.g. micro CHP) Energy Lending Criteria: http://www.eib.org/infocentre/publications/all/eib-energy-lending-criteria.htm
