Helping SMEs save energy
A company’s energy saving initiatives are influenced mainly by numerous financial and organisational factors. High investment costs slow the adoption of energy efficient measures in SMEs. The solution is to make it easier for SMEs and to promote energy efficiency as an opportunity. The EU-funded DEESME project will develop a new approach to enable SMEs to manage their energy transition in line with EU policies. It will provide national authorities with guideline proposals and recommendations on how to strengthen the national schemes. To assist SMEs to develop and test the technical DEESME solutions, the project will organise information and training events. It will conduct energy audits and implement energy management systems.
