The Executive Agency for Competitiveness and Innovation (EACI) is hereby launching a call for proposals for the Intelligent Energy - Europe 2010 work programme. The programme objectives are:

• To promote energy efficiency and rational use of energy resources.
• Promote new energy sources and renewable energy and promote diversification.
• Promote energy efficiency and use of sources of new and renewable energy in transport.

In addition to our useful documents section, further information about the Call for Proposals CIP-IEE-2010, as well as relevant documents can be found at the Intelligent Energy-Europe Programme website.

Intelligent Energy - Europe covers action in the following fields:

Energy efficiency and rational use of resources (SAVE), including:

• Improving energy efficiency and the rational use of energy, in particular in the building and industry sectors;
• Supporting the preparation and application of legislative measures.
• Priorities 2010: Energy efficiency buildings, consumer behaviour.

New and renewable energy sources (ALTENER), including:

• promoting new and renewable energy sources for centralised and decentralised production of electricity, heat and cooling, and biofuels, 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.
• Priorities 2010: RES electricity, RES in buildings, bioenergy.

Energy in transport (STEER) to promote energy efficiency and the use of new and renewable energies 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.
• Priorities 2010: Energy efficiency in transport, capacity-building and learning on energy aspects of transport.

Integrated initiatives combining several of the aforementioned 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.
• Priorities 2010: Local energy leadership, Strengthening capacities for financing of energy efficiency and renewable energy sources in housing.
