Background Total budget of the call: EUR 65 million
The objective of the Intelligent Energy - Europe II Programme (“IEE II”) is to contribute to secure, sustainable and competitively priced energy for Europe, by providing for action:
- to foster energy efficiency and the rational use of energy resources;
- to promote new and renewable energy sources and to support energy diversification;
- to promote energy efficiency and the use of new and renewable energy sources in transport.
The Programme in particular contributes to the EU Energy 2020 Strategy and facilitates the implementation of the Directive on energy efficiency and of the Directive on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources. Intelligent Energy – Europe builds on the experience gained from its predecessor, the first Intelligent Energy - Europe (2003-2006) Programme. This Programme has become the main EU instrument to tackle non-technological barriers to the spread of efficient use of energy and greater use of new and renewable energy sources. From 2007, Intelligent Energy – Europe has been included in the overall Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP). The Programme is managed by the Executive Agency for Competitiveness and Innovation under powers delegated by the European Commission.
