European City Facility

European City Facility’s objective is to build a substantial pipeline of sustainable energy investment projects across municipalities, local authorities, and local public entities aggregating municipalities/local authorities in Europe. This will be achieved by providing targeted financial, technical, legal, and capacity-building support to overcome critical barriers, develop credible investment packages and mobilise finance. Delivering this will require organisational, technical, and financial innovation, in particular, to bridge the capacity and capability
gap for small and medium-sized municipalities.
