Short description of the overall project

The programme supports partner institutions in the building sector to this end. Moreover, it encourages a wider use of digital tools to get Municipal Energy and Climate Plans (MECP) in line with the NECP. The project:

  • supports the Ministry of Economy/the Kosovo Energy Efficiency Agency and the Ministry of Environment, Spatial Planning, and Infrastructure. The aim is to improve the legal and regulatory framework for the implementation of NECP in the building sector. A special focus is placed on improving energy efficiency and increasing the use of renewable energy sources for self-consumption.
  • develops integrated digital tools for data processing to be used in energy management, monitoring and verification at local level. This involves energy performance certification, energy auditing as well as inspecting heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems (HVAC).
  • works to get Municipal Energy and Climate Plans (MECPs) in line with the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP
  • enhances the political dialogue on Energy Transition by establishing a regular exchange between politics, civil society, research and the private sector.
