Activities

Over the course of three years, the project aims to enhance energy efficiency capacity within SMEs through a range of initiatives, including energy audits, company trainings and energy management systems that are developed or further developed during the project. Additional tools for self-assessment tools, and guidance on accessing finance are available on the energy knowledge and monitoring platform Impawatt which forms like a repository of materials for SMEs. 

The project started with a scoping study which was conducted to identify the baseline energy consumption and awareness level of companies as well as effective energy efficiency measures tailored to each targeted sector. 

Energy audits at selected companies will be an additional source of information to assess the energy efficiency status and energy efficiency improvements at the different sectors targeted by the project. 

Beyond technical assistance, the project will also help companies identify suitable funding opportunities in each country. The platform’s financial section will feature a tool that matches businesses with customized funding options aligned with their energy efficiency projects.
