A major new study on the potential to use ERDF financial instruments to finance energy efficiency projects has been published on the fi-compass website. The major study contains an analysis of the key data in relation to the financing gap for energy efficiency in each of the 27 Member States. It is expected that the study will be used by Member States to design financial instruments to support this sector in the 2021-2027 programming period.
