When it comes to innovative sources of financing for the energy renovation of buildings, the renewal of district heating systems, and the integration of renewable energy sources, it is crucial to find financing options that are not limited to public funds and European Union instruments. Energy contracting is a proven way of financing energy projects, whether for building energy renovations or for providing heat. Here are some of the key activities:
- Actively studying the current market situation and reaching out to potential investors.
- Preparing appropriate investment documentation and presenting solutions to the wider public.
- In addition to energy contracting, it’s important to focus on crowdfunding with citizen involvement.
- Developing solutions that enable active user participation and the monetization of energy savings and renewable energy production.
