Sustainable Development Program (PDD)

PDD addresses the challenges identified under the second policy objective of EU Regulation No. 1060/2021 of the European Parliament and the Council, ‘A Greener Europe.’

Our ongoing projects fall under ‘Priority 4 – Promoting energy efficiency, smart energy systems and networks, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions’ and ‘Action 4.3 – Reducing GHG emissions and increasing energy efficiency in systems. The amounts allocated for Priority 4 are 325 million euros through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), 523.76 million euros through the Cohesion Fund (CF), and 269.78 million euros as a national contribution.

The specific objectives of the projects we are implementing are:

• promoting energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions (ERDF and CF);
• promoting renewable energy sources in accordance with Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and the Council on renewable energy, including its sustainability criteria (ERDF);
• developing local smart energy systems, networks, and storage systems outside the trans-European energy network (ERDF and CF).
