The Intelligent Energy Europe II Programme (IEE) funds promotion and dissemination projects in the field of energy.
Types of actions
Intelligent Energy - Europe covers action in the following fields:
Energy efficiency and rational use of energy resources (SAVE), including:
- Improvement of energy efficiency and the rational use of energy, in particular in the building and industry sectors;
- Supporting the preparation and application of legislative measures.
New and renewable energy resources (ALTENER), including:
- Promoting new and renewable energy sources for centralised and decentralised production of electricity, heat and cooling, and thus supporting the diversification of energy sources;
- Integrating new and renewable energy sources into the local environment and the energy systems;
- Supporting the preparation and application of legislative measures.
Energy in transport (STEER) to promote energy efficiency and the use of new and renewable energy sources in transport, including:
- Supporting initiatives relating to all energy aspects of transport and the diversification of fuels;
- Promoting renewable fuels and energy efficiency in transport;
- Supporting the preparation and application of legislative measures.
Integrated initiatives combine several of the above specific fields or relating to certain EU priorities. They may include actions integrating energy efficiency and renewable energy sources in several sectors of the economy and/or combining various instruments, tools and actors within the same action or project.
There is no “typical” budget - it will depend on the nature of the project. In practice most are around €1 million.
