On 5 April 2016 the JRC presented the interactive and collaborative online European Energy Efficiency Platform. This beta platform is conceived to fill the gap opened by scattered data and fragmented knowledge resulting from a rapidly growing energy efficiency market. It is expected to be both a one-stop shop for information retrieval and a meeting point for experts to exchange data and reduce redundant activities.
Streetlight-EPC - Triggering the market uptake of Energy Performance Contracting through street lighting refurbishment
Despite the great potential, most European regions have not yet seen a significant development of Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) markets.
Due to its lower technical and economic complexity, street lighting is a good "learning and testing ground" for EPC. The project "Streetlight-EPC", funded by the Intelligent Energy Europe Programme, creates demand and supply for Energy Performance Contracting projects in 9 European regions by providing regional EPC facilitation services and supporting projects towards implementation.
In the frame of Streetlight-EPC, 30 projects have already been implemented using a variety of EPC models and 10 more with other financing or operational models. In total, 20.4 million Euro have been invested so far.
This publication presents 24 of these projects (17 street lighting and 7 indoor lighting) as well as the project approach, key lessons learnt and conclusions.
