What is PRIME?

prime_01 PRIME (Private Investments Move Ecopower) promotes participatory sustainable energy projects in public buildings. The necessary investments needed for projects involving Rational Use of Energy (RUE) and/or Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in public buildings are raised using private capital from citizens and local stakeholders.

 

PRIME engages the users of a building to play their part in climate protection. The participating cities promote, facilitate and prepare the ground for sustainable energy projects that they can contribute towards. Some PRIME partners may even be able to implement their projects during the course of the initiative.

 

PRIME develops practical and adaptable models for reducing CO2 emissions from public buildings. The flexibility of the tools means that they can be used by towns and cities across Europe, thus avoiding the costs for developing strategies on their own. Moreover, the development of an easy-to-implement action package, including best practice examples and tried and tested approaches, will contribute to lowering the cost of implementing RES and RUE projects for municipalities.

 

PRIME creates an effective European network of stakeholders who are building a broad knowledge base on the application of participatory sustainable energy projects in public buildings. Experiences, initiatives and ideas can be exchanged and strategies discussed using a web-based platform that includes best practice examples, conceptual tools for feasibility checks and a database with contacts.
