Round table on financing energy efficiency measures and deep renovation of public buildings in the Republic of Croatia
Online event
Zagreb
21st of January 2021
The round table is organised under project SMAFIN (funded by the Horizon 2020 programme) implemented in Croatia by the North-West Croatia Regional Energy Agency – REGEA, and with the Interreg MED Efficient Buildings Community (MED EBC).
Form
Introductory plenary session, thematic session, summary session
Participants
a small group of selected representatives including key Croatian stakeholders, representatives of the Ministry of Physical Planning, Construction and State Assets, the Ministry of Regional Development and EU Funds, the Agency for Transactions and Mediation in Immovable Properties (APN), Croatian Bank for Reconstruction and Development (HBOR), Croatian cities and Joint Research Centre (JRC).
Objectives
As a part of the SMAFIN project (Supporting smart financing implementation for energy efficient Balkan Buildings) funded by the EU program Horizon 2020 and following the successful organisation of the first National Round Table on financing energy efficiency measures in the Republic of Croatia – SEIF (Sustainable Energy Investment Forum), REGEA alongside Energy Cities network want to keep the building debate high up on the political agenda. That is why we are organizing together with the Interreg MED Efficient Buildings Community a virtual round table with a focus on financing energy efficiency measures and the complete renovation of public buildings in the Republic of Croatia.
The aim of the round table on financing energy efficiency measures and renovation of public buildings in the Republic of Croatia is to encourage dialogue between key Croatian stakeholders on improving the availability and allocation of funds for investments in energy efficiency measures. The debate will also build on experiences from local authorities that designed and tested investment evaluation and planning tools in the framework of Interreg MED projects like NewFinance, PrioritEE and Impulse.
Context
The objectives of the Long-Term Strategy for Encouraging Investment in the Renovation of the National Building Fund will be impossible to achieve without securing private investments and combining it with public funds. In addition to useful tools and methodologies from the Interreg MED Efficient Buildings Community, the roundtable will also highlight good practices in neighbouring countries, such as Slovenia, where projects funded by both private and public funds are successfully implemented. Pointing out good examples will provide space for discussion and pave the way for the implementation of beneficial practices in the new financial perspective. Involving experts from the research and business sectors in policymaking will create opportunities for cooperation, but also shed new light on responding to the challenges of aligning all available funding sources and strategic documents.
