REDay2022 - Eyes on the Horizon: Renovating our Buildings to REPower the EU
The REDay2022 High-level Conference took place in the European Parliament co-hosted by the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) Rapporteur Ciarán Cuffe (Greens/EFA, Ireland) and was also streamed online on the 27th of October.
The event was divided in two sessions. The first focused on the ongoing EPBD recast and the importance that a tool such as Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) play (read the joint letter co-signed by Renovate Europe encouraging ambitious MEPS here). The second took a look on how we can finance the Renovation Wave, both through public funds-based mechanisms, as well as private capital and bank schemes.
Launching the EU Renovation Loan
On November 3rd our EU Level Supporting Partner Climate Strategy & Partners hold a webinar to launch its latest report concerning the European Renovation Loan (ERL).
Combining existing financial elements and components and joining them together in a new instrument designed to deliver finance at the EU Renovation Wave scale, the ERL has the potential to fill the private financing gap and address over 50 million EU homeowners.
The report aims at tackling three key elements:
- Identifying the right 50 million homeowners.
- Designing the EU Renovation Loan to fill the identified gap.
- Implementing the right enabling framework to ensure ERL’s success.
Renovating Europe's buildings: opportunities for workforce upskilling in cohesion funding (#EURegionsWeek 2022)
Reducing energy demand is the sustainable answer to protect citizens against rising energy prices. To deliver on massive energy renovation programmes required to secure such energy-saving gains we need a much greater focus on workforce upskilling. This session, co-organised by Renovate Europe, E3G and the EFBWW, will focus on the needs of today’s workforce in terms of building renovations and will highlight funding opportunities in the multiannual financial framework (MFF) for 2021-2027 to help regions and cities step up to the challenge.
Moderator: Adrian Joyce, Director of the Renovate Europe Campaign
