Short introduction to the programme / what is it about? How may WBC participate?:

The objective of the Intelligent Energy - Europe II Programme (“IEE II”) is to contribute to secure, sustainable and competitively priced energy for Europe, by providing for action:

• to foster energy efficiency and the rational use of energy resources;
• to promote new and renewable energy sources and to support energy diversification;
• to promote energy efficiency and the use of new and renewable energy sources in transport.

The Programme in particular contributes to the EU Energy 2020 Strategy, and facilitates the implementation of the Energy Efficiency Plan 2011 and of the Directive on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources.

Intelligent Energy - Europe covers action in the following fields:

Energy efficiency and rational use of energy resources (SAVE), including:

• improving energy efficiency and the rational use of energy, in particular in the building and industry sectors;
• supporting the preparation and application of legislative measures.

New and renewable energy resources (ALTENER), including:

• promoting new and renewable energy sources for centralised and decentralised production of electricity, heat and cooling, and thus supporting the diversification of energy sources;
• integrating new and renewable energy sources into the local environment and the energy systems;
• supporting the preparation and application of legislative measures.

Energy in transport (STEER) to promote energy efficiency and the use of new and renewable energies sources in transport, including

• supporting initiatives relating to all energy aspects of transport and the diversification of fuels;
• promoting renewable fuels and energy efficiency in transport;
• supporting the preparation and application of legislative measures.

Criteria

• Any public or private organisation established in the EU, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Croatia or the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia can participate in a project proposal.
• Proposals must involve in general at least three partners from different countries.
• The proposal must prove the financial and technical capacity of the applicants to implement the project.
• The proposal needs to take the overall objectives of the IEE programme and the priorities of that specific call into account and explain how these will be implemented.
• High quality description of the activities to be carried out.
• The project must have a wide and lasting impact on Europe's energy situation. It needs to make a significant contribution to the implementation of the EU's policy objectives regarding clean and secure energy.
• Think about and explain the EU added-value of your project - what are the benefits of implementing the project on a EU level? The transnational dimension is crucial.
• Well thought and planned allocation of resources.
• 'Hardware' investments or research and development projects are not eligible for funding. If you are looking for funding for a project still in the research phase go to the EU's Framework programme for research.
