ELENA - European Local ENergy Assistance

EC-EIB cooperation started in 2009 to reach 20-20-20 targets (20% increase

in energy efficiency, 20% reduction of CO2 emissions, and 20% renewables by 2020)

Technical Assistance facility: managed by EIB; funded by EU budget (H2020

Programme); regulated through annual Delegation Agreements;

Project development support for energy efficiency; building integrated

renewables; clean urban transport and mobility

Market replication focus (min. investment EUR 30 m); investment leverage

required (ratio 20 for sustainable energy; 10 for clean urban transport and mobility)

90% funding rate (grant); claw back possibility
Budget allocation: average EUR 15m per year; 2016 agreement is 20 mio

EUR of which 5 mio are transport; 2017 agreement is 30 mio EUR of which 10 mio are transport

First come, first served rule for applications

Project maturity

Preparatory studies must have been carried out and main decisions

taken before ELENA support request

Leverage performance measured after 3 years (for urban transport 4 y)
In case leverage of 20 (or 10 for urban transport and mobility) not

achieved : grant may be clawed back

ELENA proposal should demonstrate high implementation probability
