European Energy Efficiency Fund – Technical Assistance Facility (eeef - TA) supports projects in the sector of energy efficiency and partly small-scale renewable energy
eeef-TA aims to bridge the gap between sustainable energy plans and real investments by supporting the beneficiary by way of allocating consultant services to the planned investment programmes (for example for feasibility studies, energy audits and evaluating the economic viability of investments, legal support). It also covers direct staff costs of the TA beneficiaries if required. Should the investment programme not to be financed by eeef, the reimbursement of services previously paid by eeef is mandatory.
Applicants are asked to provide their proposals by following the application format – provided in the download section of eeef-TA website - as a basis for their application and send a fully-fledged proposals to the following email address: technical_assistance@eeef.eu.
There is no deadline, the application procedure is open on a first-come-first-serve basis and it is subject to availability of funds and eeef’s appetite for proposed sector/technology etc.
The TA beneficiary will be informed by the eeef team in writing within 20 days after submission. In the event of TA support awarded by eeef, a TA contract (standard example provided at the TA download section of the website) detailing the eeef support and conditions will be sent to the potential TA beneficiary to formalise the obligations of the parties. It is envisaged to sign the TA contract with the TA beneficiary 15 days after the awarding notice was sent to the TA beneficiary.
After awarding the TA support to the winning applicant/s and signing the TA contracts, each TA beneficiary has to complete the agreed TA work scope within a two-year timeframe, including selecting the company/companies to carry out the investment programme’s implementation works. This assumes that the TA beneficiary is required to publish a tender for the project implementation works within this time.
