Description du projet
Dynamiser les PME pour économiser de l’énergie
Les petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) sont le pilier de l’Union européenne, représentant deux tiers des emplois du secteur privé. Elles sont également de grandes consommatrices d’énergie. Le projet SMEmPower Efficiency, financé par l’UE, conférera plus d’autonomie aux PME pour faire l’objet d’audits relatifs à l’énergie et pour mettre en œuvre des propositions afin d’obtenir d’importantes économies d’énergie. Le projet mènera des formations courtes destinées aux décideurs politiques et au personnel opérationnel de PME regroupées. Des ateliers réuniront des PME avec des parties prenantes issues d’entités capables de financer des projets relatifs à l’énergie. Un manuel de formation en sept langues, une plateforme web et des outils pour le suivi et la mesure seront également fournis à la fin du projet.
Objectif
The objective of the project is to “Empower” SMEs to undergo energy audits and implement their proposals. A holistic methodology has been chosen to address different barriers based on three dimensions, i.e. Individual, Organizational and Institutional. The first concerns the design and delivery of an integrated Education & Training (E&T) programme targeting energy related SME staff, of 5 ECTS/EQF 6. At least 720 experts will be trained. The E&T programme will focus on financial and technical data required to prove that specific measures are cost-effective, while the trainees will apply their acquired knowledge to at least 160 pilot installations as practical action. This is connected with the second dimension targeting SME decision makers. In-house short trainings for decision makers of grouped SMEs according to their specificities will be delivered, during the practical action in pilots, by both partners and trainees. Such short trainings will be delivered to operational personnel as well, a total of at least 800 SME persons. Finally, the third dimension relates to targeted workshops where both SME decision makers and stakeholders from entities able to finance energy projects will come together and interact based on the real data provided from pilots, aiming to bridge the gap between energy audits and actual financing of measures. In addition, 4 long lasting training tools will be developed, a) an advanced training handbook in 7 languages, b) A web platform for energy analytics, c) a tool for Monitoring & Targeting, and d) a tool for Measurement & Verification. The above activities will bring significant and validated energy savings in SMEs, and establish suitable energy culture. We estimate that SMEmPower’s actions will result in 24.87 GWh/year primary energy savings and trigger at least 4 mil € of investments. SMEmPower will involve several market actors and multiplier organizations, either as members of Advisory Group, or as participants in various activities.
