ENERGY EFFICIENCY FINANCE MARKET PLACE
On the 18th and the 19th January this year, RESFARM was invited to participate in the “Energy Efficiency Finance Market Place” event held in Brussels by EASME. Jacobo Feijoo from Unións Agrarias and Julio Pombo from UDC attended the conference and presented a poster entitled “Developing and Implementing financial instruments for the mobilisation of investments in renewable energy in the agrarian sector”. This paper summarised the main aspects of the RESFARM project and it was used as a basis to explain to financial investors and other agents in the finance and renewable energy sector what RESFARM is. The investment opportunities offered by the added demand by potential RE users in rural Europe was explained. Moreover, emphasis was placed on the advantages of having technical and economic protocols, plant efficiency, and financial aspects as a way to reduce any uncertainty among potential investors and other agents, such as farmers, livestock breeders, who belong to the pool, and energy services companies.
