Extended Public-Private Partnership for Investment in Smart Energy Efficiency Projects in a Social Housing context

Periodic Reporting for period 1 - SUPER-i (Extended Public-Private Partnership for Investment in Smart Energy Efficiency Projects in a Social Housing context)

Okres sprawozdawczy: 2021-09-01 do 2023-02-28

The general objective of SUPER-i is to support the funding of EE (Energy Efficient) refurbishment of social housing stocks across Europe while increasing the share of renewable energy in the final energy consumption following these specific objectives:

Tailored PPPs (EE Public Private Partnerships) and roadmaps;

Data gathering and processing;

Integration of EE investments within portfolio management strategies;

Awareness and Replicability; SUPER-i Roadmap and Platform; SUPER-i investment pipelines.

The SUPER-i project will contribute to generating substantial investments in energy efficiency within the social housing sector by establishing a direct dialogue, at local government level, between financial institutions, other private investors and social housing managers while also involving ESCOs (Energy Service Companies) and by collecting relevant data on EE investments, helping to develop efficient financial schemes.

The SUPER-i project will deliver innovative financing schemes that are operational and ready to support the financing of EE refurbishment in the social housing sector.
The activities will be tested in three pilots in Italy, Denmark and Slovenia with a direct benefit for the citizens and social houses owners.
The SUPER-i partnership has formulated a conceptual model for the Capacity Building Programme programs, which can be customised for each country by their national partners. The SUPER-i capacity program has been created using the SUPER-i Toolkit, incorporating insights from local workshop, the SUPER-i Guidebook, insights and support from WP2, which provides data and information about existing social housing stocks and the financial requirements for participation in environmentally innovative tenders. The SUPER-i capacity building programs empower key stakeholders in the social housing sector to secure financial assistance for energy renovation investments.
The SUPER-i partnership has collected financial, technical and economic data specific to each pilot building in Denmark, Italy and Slovenia in order to investigate the economic profitability and environmental benefits of installing up to date Energy Efficiency technologies.
The SUPER-i partnership has already drafted specific financial plans for each pilot building and is organising specific meetings with institutional investors and commercial banks to discuss the application of such plans.
The SUPER-i project has identified a number of KPIs related to the installation of energy efficient solutions in the pilot buildings in terms of:
● Technical KPIs
● Economic and financial KPIs
● Energy poverty KPIs:
The SUPER-i partnership has developed a financial evaluation methodology, to measure the financial profitability and economic viability of the EE renovations in each pilots.
The SUPER-i partnership is conducting local and national replication activities through workshops and webinars involving financial institutions, ESCOs, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and the social housing sector. The main objective of the activities in WP4 is to raise awareness among stakeholders about the financial solutions available for energy efficiency refurbishment projects. These activities intend to reach a wide range of stakeholders who can benefit from these solutions across the EU. These activities aim to increase the replication of results and have a broader impact on sustainable energy investments. The capacity building programmes in WP4 are designed to support the communication and exploitation activities.
The SUPER-i partnership is assessing the economic profitability of the EE renovations in the pilot countries, showcasing the financial benefits of investing in EE refurbishment projects through a comparison against investing in SP500 index, selecting the most appropriate financial instruments for EE refurbishment project specific to each building in each pilot country based on the financial gains of each involved party (Social housing company, ESCOs, financial institutions, tenants, and civil society).
The SUPER-i partnership is providing a detailed analysis of the financial performance of the PPP contracts on the basis of the risk adjusted extra returns for the relevant stakeholders and considering the energy efficiency renovations in each pilot.
