From Ideas to Action: How to Secure Funding for Energy Efficiency Projects
Energy efficiency plans have never been more important. With the Paris Agreement coming into effect last week, and COP22 kicking off this week - it’s time for countries to step up their efforts to keep warming below 2 degrees.
Managing energy differently (read: intelligently) is a key means to achieving that.
Of course, as a top energy professional, you know all about this. You also know another inconvenient truth: it’s not going to be easy.
Why? Because as much as high-level leaders want to #changeclimatechange, little impact will result unless individuals and corporations understand how they consume energy - and then take meaningful steps to make it as benign as possible.
When it comes to putting an energy management plan into action, obtaining sufficient funding typically results in a monumental struggle. Financing energy efficiency: the energy manager's eternal dilemma, right?

To demonstrate this, we’ve created a free guide to help you get from ideas to action!
