European Energy Efficiency Fund (eeef)

💡eeef does it again! UAB Klaipedos paslaugos joins the eeef TA Programme to improve the street lighting infrastructure in Klaipeda City, Lithuania. 🇱🇹 This investment program will help the city, with 156,745 inhabitants, meet its carbon reduction goals and local strategic objectives in energy efficiency under the Klaipeda City Municipality Strategic Development Plan for 2021 - 2030.

A wide range of industries are adapting AI solutions attempting to improve productivity. AI may be critical and part of the solution to manage rapidly increasing decentralised #renewableenergy sources and eventually reach net zero emission targets. However, #AItechnologies do not only bring benefits, but also create additional challenges to the energy sector and in particular to electric power industry. Automation of sophisticated processes require complex algorithms, application of AI and immense #computingpower and all thus require a lot of electricity. IEA expects that global data centre electricity demand, that in 2022 stood at 460 TWh, could double by 2026 reaching to up to 1 050 TWh, which is roughly equal to current electricity demand of Germany and France combined. To continue and accelerate energy transition, additional power, that was not previously accounted in projections even few years ago, needs to come from renewable sources. Uprise of AI is an example and proof that human energy consumption habits are constantly changing, this implies that reliance on fossil fuels might be longer than anticipated and that primary energy savings focus should be stronger, as transition to renewables is not keeping pace - unless we change our habits ? Didzis Berzins is reflecting on the issue in our upcoming #impactreport #energyefficiencyfirst #impactinvesting PS the picture for this post is AI generated - useful ?

European Energy Efficiency Fund (eeef) together with Cogeme S.p.A.Cogeme Energia are entering into the JV to build and operate 55MW greenfield PV plants under one project finance umbrella. The produced electricity will be supplied to communities and industries around Cogeme territory in the provinces of Brescia and Bergamo. We are looking forward to working together with our asset manager enso GmbH Wolfgang Kröpfl and paolo paoletti as the JV's manager. We thank ADVANT Nctm Martina Marmo Marzia Manente Eugenio Siragusa for their support in this transaction. #energytransition #greendeal #energyefficiency https://lnkd.in/e9m-x2MB

The energy commodities trader and convenience store network VIRŠI in cooperation with the project partners signed an agreement with European Energy Efficiency Fund (eeef) to secure funding for the development of a biomethane production using animal manure supplied by local farms in Latvia. The biomethane will be injected into the public grid and the liquefied CO2 recovered for sale. https://lnkd.in/e_ikjvKQ #energytransition #circulareconomy

We are releasing the 2nd part of our Episode 9 with the independent energy expert and amazing podcaster Michael Barnard Fearing the negative and selling the fear (familiarity with the natural gas, but not electric batteries and at the same time associating H2 with the NG) carbon pricing and #energyefficiency (is a climate solution? ) Liebchen+Liebchen Kommunikation GmbH Thuy Tien Nguyen-Olbrich thank you for this release ! Here is also the 1st part of this conversation https://lnkd.in/eTCvfMhJ https://lnkd.in/eFgbGbUQ

made in France: French biomethane production more than quadrupled since 2020, with the country now on track to surpass the 1 bcm threshold this year and become Europe's largest biomethane producer in 2025, ahead of Germany and Denmark. biomethane production in France rose by an impressive 30% in 2023 and continued to expand at a similar rate in the first five months of 2024. the latest French draft Climate and Energy Strategy raised the country's biomethane target to 4 bcm by 2030 and the industry has the ambition of 20% green gas by the end of the decade (which would translate into 7-8 bcm). France's vast agricultural sector, the proactive approach of DSO/TSOs, well-designed subsidy schemes and a public acceptance all contributes to the success of French biomethane. what is your view? how will this sector evolve in the coming years? what are the key challenges and opportunities ahead? what can others learn from the French experience? le gaz vert c'est aussi ton affaire! #gas #LNG #biogas #biomethane #TTF

We have extended the call for proposals for advisory services under our Technical Assistance #energyefficiencyfirst #energytransition

Call for proposals for the Castell d'Aro, Platja d'Aro i s'Agaró City The Castell d'Aro, Platja d'Aro i s'Agaró in Catalonia, Spain, joined the #eeefTAF to develop its "Energy efficiency and smart management project”. Services provided include the preparation of energy audits for street lighting (i.e., 8,226 lighting points) and 24 public buildings, a feasibility study to installing PV systems on seven public buildings and/or developing energy communities, and a technical study for the development of a digital platform for monitoring energy consumptions in 11 buildings, evaluation of the economic viability of the investment, structuring of the tender documents to align with the PPP / ESCO model, external advisors, and legal analysis. For all interested consultants, please find the ToR here https://lnkd.in/g_EAWAGu Deadline: 17 June 2024, at 6:00 pm #energycommunities #sustainableinvesting #eficienciaenergetica

The project started with the feasibility studies to replace #streetlighting infrastructure in 14 municipalities in Portugal 🇵🇹 back in 2014. In 2018 it was financed by eeef, the UNESCO World Heritage site of Évora appeared to visitors in a modern and artistic look soon after the COVID19. We are happy to contribute together with Julio Mateus Rui Barroso Helder Baptista SAWATCO Nuno Castelo Branco Miguel Sampaio Mattos to this project which will be refinanced by the local bank! https://lnkd.in/gdqY8uRK #energyefficiencyfirst #impactinvesting
