Save the date for the QUEST co-organized workshop "De-risking Energy Efficiency Investments" at Sustainable Places 2020

Energy efficiency investment is a challenging business: energy efficiency is not yet considered as an attractive investment by the financial sector, which limits the possibility to use external private finance on top of equity of project owners and available public funding. The lack of statistical data on the actual energy and costs savings achieved by energy efficiency investment projects, as well as on payment default rates, results in financial institutions attributing high risk premiums to energy efficiency investments.
