Lessons learnt

            Key drivers to succeed in similar projects

           Large scale approach: aggregate local authorities to create high of
            investments

           Apply for available resources at local, national or european level both for
            technical assistance and investments, especially when there’s a lack of funding
            from banks

           Use grants, if available, to:
              prepare projects (feasibility studies, planning, desing, …) or to
              invest on not sustainable energy efficiency solutions

           Increase project sustainability by replicating best practices like: standard
            contracts (ex. EPC), public tenders and procedures, management and
            monitoring standards
