Regional Operational Programme of Western Macedonia / Thematic Objective - Axis 4 Managing Authority Regional Operational Programme of Western Macedonia / Thematic Objective - Axis 4 / Supporting the Shift Towards a Low Carbon Economy in All Sectors Western Macedonia University of Applied Sciences (TEIWM) will prepare a regional action plan for Axis 4 structural funds of the regional operational programme that will combine the two project objectives: - To transfer current partners practices in the definition of policies combining FIs and ESIF for energy efficiency and renewable energy investment in buildings. - To generate an Action Plan for the design and implementation of an Instrument in RWM, combining ERDF, and aiming to promote EE and Res in buildings. Partners working on this policy instrument Operational Programme Prague – Growth Pole (OP PGP) of the Czech Republic for the period 2014-2020 The addressed policy is included in the Operational Programme Prague – Growth Pole (OP PGP) of the Czech Republic for the period 2014-2020, the thematically specific parts connected with ERDF funding. Namely there are two relevant priorities: - Priority axis 2: Sustainable mobility and energy savings (thematic objective 4) with the specific objective 2.1: Energy efficient city buildings using also suitable renewable energy sources, energy efficient technologies and smart management systems. - Priority axis 1: Strengthening research, technological development and innovation (thematic objective 1) with the specific objective 1.2: Easier establishment and development of knowledge-intensive companies; in the context of this project with a focus on energy efficient technologies for buildings. These two priorities capture very well both improving energy efficiency in public buildings (priority axis 2) and innovation in the same field in the private sector, specifically SMEs (priority 1). While the financial instruments are addressed in the priority axis 1 (though not tested yet), the financial instruments are missing in the priority axis 2.
