SUPER-i

The SUPER-i project will contribute to generate 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).

SUPER-i supports the funding of energy efficient (EE) refurbishment of social housing stocks across Europe while increasing the share of renewable energy in the final energy consumption through the following pillars:

• Tailored EE PPPs (Public Private Partnerships) and roadmaps;
• Capacity building among financial investors;
• Data gathering and processing;
• Integration of EE investments within portfolio management strategies;
• Awareness and Replicability;
• SUPER-i investment pipelines;
• SUPER-I e-room with a selection of relevant EUROSTAT data on energy poverty.

Following the IEA approach, having many types of public-private approaches, such as local government or public utility financing private EE investment, SUPER-i will analyse the three main forms of PPPs:

1. Dedicated credit lines: credit lines established by a public entity (such as a government  agency and/or donor organization) to enable financing of EE projects by a private-sector organization (bank or financial institution). Generally, the private-sector bank or financial institution provides additional financing (co-financing) for the EE projects.
2. Risk-sharing facilities: partial risk or partial credit guarantee programmes established by a public entity (such as a government agency and/or donor organization) to reduce the risk of EE project financing to the private sector (by sharing the risk through a guarantee mechanism), thereby enabling increased private sector lending to EE projects.
3. Energy Saving Performance Contracts (ESPCs): publicsector initiatives, in the form of legislation or regulation, established by one or more government agencies to facilitate the implementation of energy performancebased contracts In the SUPER-i e-room, using the Eurostat Energy data and the Eurostat INCOME AND LIVING CONDITIONS datasets for the SUPER-i partner countries relevant tables and charts are shown for the following Indicators:

• Energy poverty primary indicators
• Energy poverty secondary indicators
• Energy use
• European Pillars for social rights (EPSR)
• Employment and social policy indicators
• Economic, financial and social conditions indicators
• Environmental
