The deadline to participate in the EENergy call for proposals has been extended. This initiative aims to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) intending to design and implement energy efficiency activities.

The new closing date for applications is 15 May 2024.

Specifically, the call allows SMEs across Europe to apply for a maximum grant of 10,000 euros with 100% funding for investments aimed at energy efficiency, as well as sustainability advisory services from the Enterprise Europe Network.

Please note that to participate in the call and be eligible for the grant, SMEs must collaborate with advisers from the Enterprise Europe Network who specialise in sustainability. They will support interested SMEs in designing a bespoke efficiency plan and submitting their application.

All eligible applicants participating in the open call, regardless of whether they receive the grant, will continue to benefit from advisory services and assistance from Enterprise Europe Network sustainability advisers during the implementation of their action plan. They will also receive anonymous benchmarking reports comparing their energy efficiency performance against that of all other applicants (with reference to size, sector, and location).
