SEI Forums, the past six months
On 11 June, Pracsis organised the 35th(!) and final event of its SEI Forums contract with the European Commision (EASME). The event took place in Sofia and was a continuation of the successful regional conference on financing energy efficiency in Central and South-Eastern Europe held in Sofia in June 2018.The objective of the event—a national roundtable—was to build on the dialogue between key Bulgarian stakeholders on how to improve access to finance for energy efficiency investments, and to identify common objectives and potential improvements to be made in the current policy framework and business practices.These basic objectives also defined the other eight national roundtables organized around the EU since the beginning of the year. Here is where we’ve been since January:
Rome, 5 February 2019: Second Roundtable on Finance for Energy Efficiency
