  Priorities

The Operational Programme is structured according to the following priorities:

Priority 1: Energy Production from Renewable Energy Sources [approximately 48.5% of total funding]

This priority will focus on:

developing integrated models for renewable energy sources;

promoting and supporting the use of renewable energy in public buildings and utilities;

conducting experiments on the potential of renewable energy sources;

developing models and actions to increase renewable energy sources production in an effort to enhance the environmental and natural value of the regions covered.

Priority 2: Energy Efficiency and Optimisation of the Energy System [approximately 47.5% of total funding]

Under this priority, efforts will focus on:

developing advanced systems for energy efficiency in public buildings and utilities;

improving the infrastructure of the transport network, including the promotion of renewable energy sources in combined heat and power generation;

raising awareness, developing skills and increasing social acceptance in terms of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency.

Priority 3: Technical Assistance [approximately 4.0% of total funding]

This priority aims to further the research into energy potential and to support the Programme in terms of management, strategy and communication.
