The objective of the Intelligent Energy - Europe II Programme (“IEE II”) is to contribute to secure,  sustainable and competitively priced energy for Europe, by providing for action:

• to foster energy efficiency and the rational use of energy resources
• to promote new and renewable energy sources and to support energy diversification
• to promote energy efficiency and the use of new and renewable energy sources in transport

The Programme in particular contributes to the EU Energy 2020 Strategy, and facilitates the  implementation of the EU action plan for energy-efficiency and of the Directive on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources.

The call is closing on 12 May 2011 for all types of actions (except for the integrated initiative ‘The Building Workforce Training and Qualification Initiative in the field of energy efficiency and renewable energy’ which will close on 15  June 2011).

SAVE: Energy efficiency

• SAVE — Energy-efficient products: for actions to help transform the market towards more energy- efficient products and systems, supporting and complementing the legislation in this area.
• SAVE — Industrial excellence in energy: for actions to increase the competitiveness of European  industries, in particular of SMEs, by empowering them to save energy.

ALTENER: New and renewable energy resources

• ALTENER - Electricity from renewable energy sources (RES-e): for actions to increase the share of renewable electricity in Europe’s final energy consumption.
• ALTENER - Renewable heating/cooling (RES-H/C): for actions promoting use of RES for heating and  cooling applications.
• ALTENER - Bioenergy: for actions promoting increased production and use of biomass, bio-liquids and biogas  in energy markets.

STEER: Energy in transport

• STEER - Energy-efficient transport: for actions to reduce the demand for travel by car and transport by road freight, and to shift travel and transport to more efficient transport modes.
• STEER - Clean and energy-efficient vehicles: for actions to help transform the market towards more energy-efficient vehicles, supporting and complementing the recent legislation in this area.
