Join us in a novel approach to increase investments in industrial energy efficiency: training for project developers starts April 27th

Investor Confidence Project aims to de-risk industrial energy efficiency investments. It is funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 programme. The first training is on April 27, 2018 at 10:00 European Summer Time. There are still concerns that investing in energy efficiency is risky. ICP is designed to change that. ICP started with investments in buildings and is now broadening the scope to include industry, district energy and street lighting through a two-year project funded by EU funding. Training is free due to the EU funding of the ICP project. If you are not completely convinced about about this approach for industry, do not hesitate to contact me at rod.janssen@ee-ip.org.uk. For confidential support call the Samaritans on 08457 90 90 90 or visit a local Samaritans branch, see www.samaritans.org for details on how you can call the National Suicide Prevention Line on 1-800-.
