Final Conference of the EUKI-project ALLIES
The European Green Deal calls for new means to build energy efficient and low carbon economies. Funded by the German Government’s European Climate Initiative (EUKI), the ALLIES project offers precisely such means.
It develops and implements the concept of Locally-rooted Financing Entities for Energy Efficiency (LFEEE), i.e. cooperative institutions to foster and finance energy efficiency measures in companies, private premises and municipalities. By doing so, LFEEEs functionas a kind of Citizen Energy Community (CEC) as envisaged in the latest EC energy market directive. At the end of the ALLIES project, partners from Hungary, Poland and Germany seek to inspire followers in other countries to take on the concept of LFEEEs and adapt it to their needs.
Against this background, B.A.U.M. e.V., INEM (the International Network for Environmental Management) and the national project partners - FEWE in Poland, KÖVET Association in Hungary, B.A.U.M Consult GmbH in Germany - cordially invite you to the
