Description du projet
Un meilleur financement pour une transition énergétique durable en Bulgarie
Le succès de la transition vers une énergie propre entreprise par la Bulgarie est actuellement trop dépendant des subventions. Le secteur de la rénovation résidentielle du pays, par exemple, dépend à 100 % des subventions. Il convient de développer un système de financement durable pour atteindre des objectifs énergétiques ambitieux et lutter contre la hausse de la précarité énergétique. Le projet BeSMART, financé par l’UE, mettra en place un forum de discussion et neuf tables rondes rassemblant les autorités publiques, les experts en efficacité énergétique, les secteurs de la finance et de la construction, les sociétés de services énergétiques, les PME et les propriétaires de logement en vue de soutenir de nouveaux modèles commerciaux ainsi qu’un financement intelligent. Le projet soutiendra également l’élaboration de stratégies nationales et locales, développera des cadres institutionnels et juridiques, puis ouvrira la voie à un renforcement de la confiance des investisseurs.
Objectif
Bulgaria is facing a serious challenge to radically transform its extremely grant-dependent energy efficiency support schemes, while at the same time preserving the speed and scope of the clean energy transition. This is especially valid for the residential sector, where the existing 100% grant mechanism for building renovation has to be quickly reformed into a sustainable financing scheme, at the same time targeting more ambitious energy targets and taking into account the overspread energy poverty. Similar situation is evidenced in the industry, where investments are usually prompted by operational programmes offering up to 80% grants. Considering the principles of functioning of the EU Green Deal and the possibilities under the Recovery Package, innovative financial instruments have to be quickly designed and adopted in a transparent and inclusive way, significantly improving the leveraging effect of public resources, while at the same taking into account the limited investment capacities and purchasing power of the consumers. To address these policy and market gaps, BeSmart aims to support smart financing implementation by setting up a permanent discussion forum, gathering central and local authorities, energy efficiency experts, the financial sector, ESCOs, homeowners, industry, construction and SME sector representatives. The discussion forum and the 9 roundtables planned under the project are specifically designed to support new business models and utilize investment opportunities derived from the increased financing for energy efficiency and renewable energy at EU level. They will gather and upscale existing best practices, support the development of national and local-level strategies, propose improvements in the national policy framework and implementation programmes, develop the institutional and legal framework, and increase the transparency in the policy-making process, leading to increased trust of the investors and better functioning of the market.
