Supporting the clean energy transition of European industry and businesses

Expected Impact: Proposals should present the concrete results which will be delivered by the activities and demonstrate how these results will contribute to the topic-specific impacts. This demonstration should rely on a solid analysis of the current situation, realistic assumptions and baselines, and establish clear causality links between proposed activities, results and impacts. In terms of qualitative impact, proposals under this topic should demonstrate how they will contribute to the following outcomes, as relevant and depending on the scope (A or B): Implementation of EU legislation (in particular Energy Efficiency Directive and Renewable Energy Directive) addressing the business sector Viable business models either for the deployment of specific solutions or for industrial energy cooperation ready to be rolled out on the market Industrial actors integrating sustainable energy solutions in their processes Deployment of energy related infrastructure, energy services, and/or energy exchanges contributing to the clean energy transition of businesses Sustainable energy technological solutions adapted to meet industrial processes demands Acceleration and streamlining of projects to foster clean, affordable and sustainable energy use at regional/local level In terms of quantitative impact, proposals should quantify their results and impacts using the indicators provided for the topic, when they are relevant for the proposed activities. Proposals are not expected to address all the listed impacts and indicators. The results and impacts should be quantified for the end of the project and for 5 years after the end of the project. Depending on the scope (A or B) and as relevant, the quantitative indicators for this topic include: Number of standardised technological solutions co-designed to the needs of a specific industrial sector Number of new installations of net-zero energy technologies triggered by the project (including commitments) Number of investment plans within industrial clusters endorsed by the relevant stakeholders (e.g. through Memorandum of Understanding) Number of companies implementing energy cooperation approaches Number of key actors along the value chains with improved skills/knowledge triggered during the action, broken down by relevant categories Number of relevant stakeholders approached and mobilised, broken down by relevant categories. Proposals should also provide indicators which are specific to their proposed activities. Proposals submitted under this topic should also quantify their impacts related to the following common indi…
