-
OFFSHORE GRID - plugging wind into the grid
Renewable energy sources provide green energy - but connecting them to the existing grid can be a challenge.
-
FRESH - financing the retrofitting of social housing
Energy efficient improvements are cost-effective in the long-term, but the upfront investment, particularly in big projects, can be off-putting.

SF-ENERGY INVEST: unlocking Structural and Cohesion Funds
€9 billion is available under the EU's Structural and Cohesion Funds for investment in renewable energy and energy efficiency in Europe's regions for 2007-2013.
The IEE programme has been up and running since 2003. More than 500 European projects involving 3 500 European organisations have received funding and a lot has been achieved already. The programme and its projects are helping the EU deliver on its 2020 objectives to improve energy efficiency, increase the share of renewables in EU energy consumption and to reduce greenhouse gases.
The IEE mag
The IEE mag provides an in-depth look at the programme in action - find out about IEE-funded projects and the people that run the programme in this bi-annual magazine. The magazine is published by the EACI in English, French, German, Polish and Spanish and features interviews with those running the programme and the projects.
