| Belgium | Schaerbeek Municipality | The Government of the Brussels-Capital Region has defined its Renolution strategy to reduce the environmental impact of buildings and has translated this into a Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan. In parallel, Schaerbeek and the 18 other municipalities in the Region have asked for Sibelga's support to establish the D-Click Brussels IC for public buildings. Sibelga (the intermunicipal company that manages the gas and electricity networks) is the facilitator for the implementation of D-Click, and the ambitious RenoClick renovation program. D-Click focuses on global, ambitious, sustainable and exemplary renovations that reduce energy consumption by 35% to 95%, mainly for offices, schools & sports facilities. To achieve this, renovations must relate to the energy production and distribution equipment (heating, ventilation, re-lighting, renewable solutions,...) and to the building envelope. To concretise the facilitation and make it permanent, a one-stop shop RenoClick provides shared services for auditing, engineering, contracting services & works (via a central purchasing office) or assistance in accessing financing tools like specific subsidy. By 2040, D-Click should result in investments of €1,069 million to renovate 305 buildings. The expected cumulative primary energy savings are 2,877 GWh. The IC developed for municipalities in Brussels can undoubtedly inspire other European cities wishing to renovate their public buildings using a common facilitator. | 331.450 | 13.010 | 60916.000 | 1069000000.000 |

| Spain | Cities of Girona | The main investment involves the implementation of a one stop shop to promote energy efficient (EE) retrofitting and increased use of renewable energy systems (RES) in private homes, in each of five municipalities. The offices will serve a total of 122,867 people and 53,314 homes. After demonstrating viability with these 5 pilots the idea is progressively expand the one stop model throughout the county (phase2) and then throughout the Province of Girona (phase3). More than 70% of the houses pre-date regulation that required insulation (pre-2006) and most have inefficient energy systems and no renewable energy systems. In other words they have very low energy ratings (E, F or G). The objective is to achieve at least a “D” or, if the initial certification was already “D”or better then an increase of at least one letter. Also, over half the retrofit budget must be EE or RES related.The market uptake objective is to increase the rate of energy efficient renovation by a factor of 5. This will benefit the residents directly, in terms of more affordable, less polluting and more comfortable housing. It will contribute to a more circular local economy by retaining wealth locally through lower fuel bills, stimulating the local economy in the building and energy systems sectors, generating local employment trades and installations. It will also benefit society by contributing to improving sustainability (that can be measured in relation to achieving targets such as Agenda 203O goals) | 45.000 | 8.300 | 13000.000 | 135378120.000 |

| Belgium | city of Mechelen | With this study, we developed a high-level investment concept to up-scale energy retrofits of co-owned condominiums in Mechelen to an energy label A, which is the mandatory energy label by 2050. The investment concept relies on an investment mix of private and public financing resources, where the private resources are the co-owners' funds (whether or not borrowed from a bank or the Flemish government) combined with financing from an Energy Service Company (ESCO) partly, and where the public resources consist of the Flemish grant for residential retrofits. Due to the ESCO contribution, co-owners' associations will have to finance a more limited part of the renovation investments themselves. The ESCO provides technical assistance during project development, and performance guarantees. Deep retrofit of co-owned condominiums will significantly contribute to Mechelen's Climate objectives, unlocking investments up to 439 million EUR and reduction of GHG emissions of potentially 22.000 tCO2 per year in 2050. | 109.000 | 23.000 | 22000.000 | 439000000.000 |

It will attract private investors, especially environmentally-minded companies that aspire to use clean energy in their production process, will liven up the local economy, and create new jobs. | 1.420 | 30.000 | 651.000 | 13060000.000 |
| Czechia | Kladno | The overall goal is to increase the self-sufficiency of buildings and related infrastructure. The investment concept is specific for 2 reasons: (a) it is very complex; (b) it is a long-term multi-phase plan; and for the EUCF project, the first phase of each thematic components is used for the EUCF purpose and calculations. Thematic components heading to the overall goal are: (1) reducing energy consumption in buildings, (2) increasing the share of renewable energy technology installations (solar power plants), (3) optimizing the heat supply system, (4) innovation and digitalization. All this is proposed by the city taking into account innovative, smart, and resilient (pro-climate) elements and approaches (e.g. with regard to the PED scheme or energy communities). Only some of the thematic components due to their character and economic "behavior" entered into the financial analysis requested below and in the investment concept as such. Overall investments and other economic parameters are without private investment. The city cannot foresee the investment made by Teplárny Kladno who own the production and influence the future setup. | 15.500 | 2.700 | 8843.000 | 38890000.000 |
| Germany | Konstanz | Investments are being planned for the four main priorities of the Climate protection strategy of the City of Konstanz. The goal is to reach near-climate-neutrality by 2035 for the City’s territory. Measures therefore should be realized quickly and in different fields of action. Thus, measures are necessary for the City’s own buildings as well as in the conversion of the energy supply system of the “Stadtwerke Konstanz” (public utility company, 100 % ownership by the City of Konstanz). In addition, funding offers are necessary to bring civil society on board. The EUCF-investment-concept of the City of Konstanz contains financing approaches and is a base for further work in clime protection. It is especially a foundation for the currently running budget planning process for the years of 2023 and 2024. An especially innovative approach consists in the City’s “climate funds”, which is further detailed within the investment concept.
Attention: The values under "economic viability" could only be given partly. Even though a rough dynamic calculation of profitability has been conducted for the individual measures, we could not fully fill out the values for "lifetime period" and "internal rate of return". This is due to too big differences among the results for the different measures and the resulting impossibility of calculating mean values. | 4.555 | 28.079 | 14547.000 | 31120000.000 |
| Germany | Bottrop | Within the framework of "Climate City 2035" in Bottrop, the energy refurbishment and reduction of emissions in the heat supply of the buildings is followed in particular.

| Finland | The City of Tampere | The project aims to turn the district heating sector in Tampere carbon negative. Capturing carbon dioxide from a biogenic energy production and then partially storing it permanently and partially using it to produce synthetic fuel would have the potential to reduce climate emissions in Tampere by over 380 000 tonnes annually. This is more than the residual emission estimated for 2030 at the moment in Tampere. The project would help the City of Tampere to go beyond its climate goals set in the Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan and make the vision of carbon negative heating a reality. Since the project requires national or European legislative changes, implementation is pending until the project becomes financially feasible as the required changes take place. | 0.000 | 316.000 | 381653.000 | 102600000.000 |

| Croatia | City of Križevci | This investment project is primarily focused on the local production of energy from renewable sources, thereby reducing CO2 emissions, but also the dependence on fossil fuels in the city. The initial measure is the construction of a large solar power plant, with a capacity of 6.3 MW, for the production of electricity with the tendency to consume it at the point of generation. Therefore, charging stations for electric vehicles will be installed within the power plant in order to meet their demand due to the increasing number of electric vehicles. Furthermore, with the further development of the infrastructure in the immediate vicinity of the power plant, part of the produced electricity will be used for the production of green hydrogen, the so-called "fuel of the future". The same will then be used as fuel for means of transport in the city's linear transport, but also for means of transport within the intermodal terminal, also planned for construction in the immediate vicinity of the solar power plant. In this way, energy will be produced and consumed at the same time in one place, without additional transport costs. The citizens of the city of Križevci will greatly benefit from this project, since the implementation of these activities will move freight traffic from the city center, reduce noise and exhaust gases, create new "green" jobs, contribute to increasing the standards of the city through upcoming investments, but also enable citizens to switch to sustainable mobil | 13.970 | 7.251 | 1150.000 | 55700000.000 |

| Italy | Municipality of Reggio Emilia | The main objective of the planned investment is to enhance the local biogas supply chain in order to improve the sustainability and energy efficiency of our territory. Specifically, the idea presented aims to increase the energy efficiency of 5 anaerobic digestion plants producing biogas for electrical energy that use livestock effluents, agro-industrial by-products, and other organic biomasses from the area. The project deepens the technical and economic feasibility of conversion of such installations into biomethane-producing plants. The biomethane will be produced both by agricultural biomasses and by an innovative Power-to-Gas technology (electrolyzer for renewable hydrogen generation + chemical methanation reactor) for the recovery and conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) present in the biogas itself and up to now unexploited. The project integrates commercially available technology (biogas purification or “upgrade” technologies, electrolyzers, and chemical methanation reactors) to develop an innovative and flexible system aimed at improving energy production and energy storage with lower CO2 emissions in comparison to fossil fuel utilization. This system should help biogas plant owner-operators to upgrade their facilities to produce more renewable energy, and thereby the planned investment will strengthen policies and actions of the energy transition that the City has currently underway. | 78.000 | 97.000 | 47454.000 | 41557500.000 |
| Italy | Comune di Assisi | The aim is to achieve the ambitious targets of SECAP by involving stakeholders and by facilitating and speeding up the planned actions. The investment project is mainly addressed to citizens and private stakeholders but has strong public traction at its base, through a profound refurbishment of residential buildings (26,794 GWh/yr) (renovation of the building envelope renovation, technological switching of fossil fuel heating systems, etc.) and a significant increase in renewable energy production through new photovoltaic systems on roofs of public and private buildings (2MWp at 2030, 2,2 GWh/yr). The project aims to create the FIRST RENEWABLE ENERGY COMMUNITY within the municipal territory to reduce emissions due to the large flows of tourists and citizens in the historic center (where, due to landscape and architectural constraints, it is almost impossible to build new photovoltaic systems) providing residential buildings, hotels, commercial buildings, municipal buildings, etc. with energy produced in the industrial and commercial area of the city. The Municipality will put into practice several concrete actions: activation and operation of the citizen's energy desk (to provide technical and practical support to citizens, companies, etc.) and awareness conferences and specific thematic workshops, a driving force that pushes citizens and businesses to make buildings more efficient and stimulates the creation of the first energy community. | 26.794 | 2.200 | 7684.000 | 92238936.000 |

| Netherlands | Municipality of Leeuwarden | The main goal of the planned investment is to develop a pilot-scale solution that ensures the future energy demand on the Zwette is met and that locally produced renewably energy can be exhanged and stored. The planned investment concerns the installment of a local battery system on the business park the Zwette, storing renewable energy produced by solar panels operated by businesses on the Zwette. This battery system would provide a decentralized energy infrastructure for the Zwette that reliefs the local (over capacitated) energy grid and allows for the exchange and storage of locally produced renewable energy. Battery systems like this are to be an important part of De Zwette's future energy infrastructure and supply. Measures to be taken are the development of a battery with 2-2,5 MW storage capacity with matching transformator; connecting this battery to businesses with PV systems; developing software for smart management of the battery system; placing the battery and safety fences. Beneficiairies from this investment will be local business owners (who can exhange and store their renewable energy), new businesses (who have a higher chance of being connected to the grid), network operator Liander (as the pressure on the grid will be reduced) and the municipality (as it has a coordinating role in the energy supply for its business parks the planned investment helps to reach its sustainable and economic ambitions). | 0.000 | 0.000 | 0.000 | 1655654.000 |
| Netherlands | Houten | The goal of this investment project is to establish a “social” Energy Service Company (M-ESCo) that facilitates the process of renovating residential buildings and provides inhabitants with an alternative green energy source. The social aspect of the M-ESCo organization is reflected in its setup, being steward owned and “not-for-profit”. The M-ESCo aims to contribute to the goal of the municipality Houten to work towards being energy neutral in an inclusive way. To achieve these goals, the M-ESCo will offer three services: quick fixes, complete renovations, and the option to buy electricity from a local energy generation project. In addition to a reduction of C02 emissions, inhabitants of the targeted neighborhoods will benefit from these services as it will make it easier for them to improve their homes and make them more energy efficient, which will lead to lower energy costs and higher comfort of living.
In this initial number the costs of renovating the residential buildings was included. The total investment (home owners and M-ESCO together) would be €404,973,112.
The total amount of CO2 (29.673 tCO2-eq/jaar) avoided is in this case higher than initially calculated. This is due to the fact that in the initial submission the avoided CO2 from renewable energy generation was not taken into account. The total energy savings (41 GWh/jaar) are less than initially estimated. This is to the fact that the calculations are more detailled and specific for the area of Houten.

| Slovenia | Municipality of Velenje | The vision over long-term is to utilize energy from sun, energy accumulated in Velenje lakes, energy from waste incineration or biomass gasification, and possibly geothermal energy, which have relatively low emissions levels and have neutral or beneficial impact on the environment. The current district heating system in Šaleška valley is defined as 1st generation, because uses coal in combined process for the production of electricity and heat, and with a supply temperature above 100 °C. In order to achieve adequate futureproofing, the current district heating system will need to be transformed into 3rd generation, which would in addition to inclusion of RES plants also enable the storage of energy. With the planned inclusion of alternative sources, more than 20 % of the heat produced directly or indirectly from RES could be achieved on an annual basis. With the planned heat generation from RES plans, CO2 emissions would be reduced during the construction works and would be completely eliminated upon its completion. On this basis, the most optimal scenario and concept for district heating system in the Šaleška valley was developed. This concept follows the goal for green transformation with 100 % RES, general price sustainability and affordability for the end-users, and a sustainable development of an energy efficient system.
The main driver is that the final price for the end users remains under 90 € per MWh, so the profit is not the main driver of the investment. | 51.000 | 200.000 | 102979.000 | 152434700.000 |
| United Kingdom | Durham County Council with anchor partners | The investment will see at scale installation and rollout of solar car ports and ‘green infrastructure’* across County Durham to demonstrate how decarbonisation of existing assets (in this case, parking assets) could be significantly scaled up to reach Net Zero and attract private investment.
The investors in this project may be private, external investors or Durham County Council itself; investors will cover the initial capital expenditure for purchase, installation and operation of solar car ports (and where appropriate EV chargers) and will see a return on that investment by selling this electricity locally, providing grid balancing services exporting excess energy, via a power purchase agreement and/or by EV charging.
*Green Infrastructure here refers to plants such as hedging and tree coverage around a car park’s boundary; planter boxes in between rows of bays; green buffers that also serve as SUDS drainage systems

| Belgium | Vallée Haute-Meuse group | The investment aims at carrying out the potential for producing photovoltaic energy in the municipalities of Profondeville, Assesse, Dinant, Yvoir and Floreffe. To this end, an overall diagnosis has been made, based on the study of specific cases, namely private or public organisations with a roof capable of hosting an installation with a minimum output of 100 KWp. This study therefore enabled these organisations to benefit from objective and independent information with a view to installing photovoltaic panels on their roofs (technical and economic study). The aim is to encourage these organisations to invest in large-scale photovoltaic installations (minimum 100 KWp) to increase the production of renewable energy in the five partner municipalities. The idea is also to direct the investment for this type of infrastructure on "artificial" land, in order to limit photovoltaic projects on agricultural land, competing with food production. Through this project, the initial ambition was to encourage an overall investment of approximately 6 million euros for an annual production of renewable energy of 4.5 Gwh. | 0.000 | 9.200 | 1161.000 | 8872624.000 |

| Denmark | Mikkeli | TERMUN investing concept TERMUN IC Addressing the issue of long fossil fuel solution lifespans and market conditions.
The TERMUN IC investigate how the 3 municipalities can help develop local investments in district heating using the termonet technology.
The main goal for the planned investments is to support the transition from oil and gas to heat pumps in both rural, urban, and suburban areas in all 3 municipalities. This transition is happening at a slow pace and thereby hindering the municipalities climate actions plans for 2023.
One of the main challenges that the TERMUIN IC is battling is that is the long lifetime of fossil fueled heaters, e.g., gas boilers. From 2011 to 2021 there were installed 17.403 gas boilers an increase of 4%. Therefore, it is essential for the TERMUN project to present citizens, municipalities, and other stakeholders with a sustainable alternative to existing fossil heat sources.
The market situation has changed radically since the application for the TERMIN project. Gas and electricity prices have over the period developed dramatically and this has forced many private households to save energy.
This prompted the Danish government in 2022, in cooperation with all Danish municipalities, to bring forward heat planning, so that everyone with a gas boiler should have clear information before the end of 2022 whether they could get district heating by 2030. | 230.000 | 0.000 | 66201.000 | 96356076.000 |

| Hungary | Kecskemet | The investment concept primarily aims at the development of innovative energy infrastructure, and two detailed background studies serve as its professional basis. One focuses on geothermal thermal energy, the other on electromobility and the low voltage network – photovoltaic energy storage system.
The concept based on geothermal heat energy creates an opportunity to cooperate with the existing low-temperature gas-based district heating system in order to increase the city's security of supply. The expert opinion supports the development of the deep well geothermal drilling system. In connection with the development of electromobility using the circular economic method, the H2 energy cell solution is favorably evaluated, it can also be considered more favorable from the point of view of the continuity of fuel production. The WtH2 technology, which can be integrated into the circular economic model, was used as a basis for the production of hydrogen. According to expert estimates, the production cost of H2 produced in this way is approx. 50% of the cost of production by hydrolysis. If the plant is set up for H2 production, high-purity CO2 and a combustible gas fraction that can be used by the CHP unit are produced as a by-product, i.e. the GHG gases that inevitably occur during other waste treatment are trapped and become a commercial product, or they are energetically utilized in the CHP unit that supports the plant's own energy supply.

| Italy | Unione della Romagna Faentina | The main goal of the project is to provide the Union with a detailed overview of the energy efficiency measures that can be implemented on public buildings in the territory of municipalities, including the installation of photovoltaic systems, which may be made available to configurations of Renewable Energy Community and other configurations of self-consumption of renewable energy under Directive (EU) 2018/2001 and under D.lgs. n. 199/21 (Italian provision implementing the Directive (UE) 2018/2001). In addition, in order to promote sustainable mobility within the Union, studies have been carried out on the location and calculation of the power required for the installation of electric charging columns. The Economic and Financial Plan has been developed assuming two financing scenarios. The first scenario, Scenario 1, provides that the initial investment is 100% financed by the Union/individual municipalities with its own financing. In this case, the municipalities will resort to a loan from Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, although part of the resources may come from regional/state non-repayable grants, like Conto Termico 2.0 GSE or participation in Regional calls, National, PNRR or European. The works will be implemented with a tender.
The second scenario, Scenario 2, previews that the Municipality covers a quota pairs to 35% of the investment through own means (loan or non-repayable grants) and 65% is co-financed by an ESCo through contest Energy Performance Contract (EPC). | 6.980 | 3.640 | 2558.000 | 26501542.000 |
| Italy | Unione dei Comuni Valli del Reno, Lavino e Samoggia | The main objective of the project is to develop a first large-scale investment concept for the Municipalities of the Union of Valli del Reno, Lavino and Samoggia, through the innovation of the existing practice on energy efficiency of buildings (identified on the basis of a series of intervention priority criteria) and performing studies to interventions on 20 public buildings, 5 public parking lots and 2 public areas, located within industrial zones. The first scenario envisages the possibility of making the initial investment with the Municipality's own resources (100% financed), through a bank loan from Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, with implementation through a tender for public works. The second scenario envisages that the Municipality covers a share equal to 40% of the investment through its own means (grants, bank loan and/or non-repayable loan) and 60% is co-financed by an ESCo through an Energy Performance Contract (EPC) tender. The feasibility of the investment is based on the hypothesis of access to non-repayable grants (at least 40%) which make the investment manageable with Energy Performance Contract - EPC, in addition to the creation of Renewable Energy Communities, which will be able to bring additional benefits with the sharing of the energy produced in excess.

| Netherlands | Beemster | The objective of the Dutch Climate Agreement is to achieve a CO2 neutral society by 2050. One of the activities to achieve this is that existing homes are no longer heated with gas, but in a different sustainable way. This has been elaborated locally in the Transition vision Heat, adopted by the city council. The TVW indicates per district which future sustainable heating option (individual option such as all electric, or a collective option such as district heating) is preferred for that specific district. In the TVW, neighbourhoods have been designated that will be tackled before 2030 to phase out gas.
With this subsidy, two investment concepts have been developed, both for a district that should be rid of gas before 2030. A neighbourhood in Overwhere South in Purmerend (463 existing homes) and a neighbourhood in the village of MiddenBeemster (743 existing homes). The residents benefit from this investment to leave a cleaner world for future generations. The increased gas prices in the Netherlands and the dependence on foreign suppliers are factors that make homeowners more motivated to make the switch to district heating.
