Financing Energy Efficiency: Workshop in Seville to Tackle Renovation Challenges

Public funding alone cannot meet the scale of investment required to renovate Europe’s building stock and achieve ambitious energy efficiency targets. While government programmes and EU schemes provide crucial support, they are often limited in scope and duration. To accelerate the transition, both innovative public support schemes—such as risk warranties, tax rebates, and other financial incentives—and innovative private financing mechanisms should be considered as vital complements, offering new instruments and scalable capital to close the funding gap and drive large-scale energy renovation in the building sector.

Reflecting on new financial mechanisms and mobilising private actors not only ease pressure on public budgets but also drives market confidence and long-term sustainability in the renovation sector. This is exactly the focus of our upcoming workshop “Financing Solutions to Support Energy Efficiency Measures”, which will take place on 23 October at the Faculty of Economics and Business Studies, University of Seville.

With contributions from experts including Susana Rocio Cayuelas Porras (Director General of the Housing and Rehabilitation Agency of Andalusia. Ministry of Development, Territorial Planning and Housing),  Pablo Baigorria Kobylinsk (Creara), Michele Russo (Founder and Chairman of EPTA Prime), and representatives from the University of Seville, we will explore how private finance can unlock opportunities for large-scale building renovation. The workshop will close with a panel discussion.

The event will gather policymakers, academics, financial experts, and practitioners in a hybrid format, ensuring that insights are accessible to a broad audience across Europe. Together, we will discuss best practices, challenges, and innovative approaches to bridge the funding gap and drive the implementation of energy efficiency measures that are essential for Europe’s sustainable future.
