"POWER HOUSE Financing TaskForce Workshop" - 4 March 2014, Brussels, Belgium

The aim of the Workshop "Financing the Energy Transition in the affordable housing sector: the missing part of the Energy and Climate Policies for 2030?" was to propose and discuss a financing model for energy refurbishment of the social housing sector that would be based on the aggregation of financing needs on the one hand and financing sources on the other hand, what we would call aggregators of low-carbon finance for housing. In this model, financial intermediaries would play a key role.
