    What this call funds

    This call funds projects that help EU countries actually put into practice two major energy laws: the Energy Efficiency Directive and the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive. Money goes to activities like building tools, guidance, data systems and best-practice exchanges that help public authorities implement, monitor and report on these energy rules more effectively. The goal is better policy implementation, more energy savings and emission reductions, not new technology development.
