€ 65 million for a more intelligent energy future in Europe

clipped from blog.reegle.info The EU Commission published last week the 2009 call for project proposals which contribute to a wider spread of energy efficiency practices and to a greater use of renewable energy sources under the Intelligent Energy – Europe funding programme. Overall € 65 million will be available to fund projects which can help deliver a cleaner, more secure and sustainable energy future for Europe while fighting climate change. The projects funded under the Intelligent Energy – Europe programme are designed to help achieve the key climate change and energy targets that the EU has set for itself by 2020. Running for two to three years, each project should involve at least three partners from three different countries and may receive funding covering up to 75% of its eligible costs. The call is open to any public or private organisation established in the EU, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Croatia
