About EFFECT PROJECT


EFFECT project arises from the need to innovate SEE countries public procurement procedures and stimulate their integration with energy efficiency criteria to meet EU Public Procurement requirements and to contribute to achieve Eu energy strategy objectives.
EU public procurement impacts for more than 16% on EU GDP and it is an important tool for public authorities to effectively address energy efficiency policies fostering production and consumption of energy efficient products and services and the adoption of energy technologies.
In order to amplify the effects that public authorities make to promote RES and RUE in SEE area, the project will set up a common framework to support SEE area in the designing and implementation of Energy Efficient Public Procurement (EEPP) and at re-addressing private sector supply towards the production of energy efficient services and products, through the removal of barriers which prevent the participation to public tenders requiring energy efficient measures/procedures, thus creating sustainable consumption and production policies and technologies and new business opportunities for the economic sector.
