Prospect+ Policy Dialogue Webinar - When subsidies run out: From public funding to innovative financing instruments for local energy transition

Join on 15 November a Policy Dialogue webinar to discuss how cities can shift from relying on public funding to successfully using innovative financing instruments when subsidies are limited.

They are bringing together public authorities and municipal energy agencies with representatives of EU institutions and private investors to talk about cites’ priorities, needs, and challenges that impact the speed of the energy transformation on the local level. We will highlight the findings from Prospect+ consultations on public authorities’ attitudes to innovative financing instruments and to decreasing reliance on traditional subsidies. 

Speakers will explore the needs and the barriers cities face when public funding for their energy transition is limited. We will share recommendations, postulates, and successful examples of projects which, despite challenges, did not rely solely on subsidies. As part of the continuous dialogue, representatives of EU institutions and private investors will give an overview of support opportunities and initiatives under development.
