International
The new Intelligent Energy – Europe call for proposals is open!
In 2013, there will be €65 million available for IEE funding
 

The EU has set itself ambitious targets to achieve clean and secure energy for tomorrow. An optimal use of available tools is necessary to meet these targets. A wide range of technologies and methods exist to improve energy efficiency, turn renewables into viable energy sources and reduce emissions. However, market conditions prevent them from reaching their full potential. This is where the Intelligent Energy – Europe (IEE) programme comes in. The IEE programme is giving a boost to clean and sustainable solutions. For more information on EU funded projects and programmes contact Katherine@corkchamber.ie
