PROJECT PIPELINES
Within the framework of the CoM East project, with the participation of the Technical Helpdesk and Country Experts, national databases of project proposals – project pipelines – in the field of energy efficiency, renewable energy and climate change adaptation were developed for each Eastern Partnership country. The project pipelines aimed to increase the transparency of local (municipal) investments and empower municipalities to find potential investors, donors and partners, which should ultimately help raise the funds needed to implement their SE(C)APs.
The collection of data on project proposals was organised using the previously developed unified questionnaires for the following main categories of projects: energy efficient street lighting, energy efficiency in buildings, energy efficient transport, renewable energy, district heating, waste management and climate change adaptation.
The databases contain information on the baseline of energy consumption of pilot facilities (e.g., lighting systems or buildings), content of the proposed activities, amount of investments required and expected results (e.g., reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions).
Information on the collected municipal project proposals in English and national languages of the Eastern Partnership countries is available to all potential investors and donors as well as stakeholders in the Funding Cities Projects section (“Support” tab) of the CoM East website. The unified questionnaires on project proposals are also available on the website, which will enable all interested Signatories submitting new successful proposals within their SE(C)APs.
