Scope:

In line with the objectives of the Commission’s winter energy package of July 2022 and the forthcoming SME Relief package announced in President von der Leyen’s State of the European Union speech, DG GROW proposes a new action to support SMEs with their efforts to improve the energy efficiency of their facilities and production lines. This will help them survive the current pressures from increased energy prices.

This action will increase the long-term sustainability of European SMEs, by reducing their environmental impact and increasing their resilience to current or future energy market crises.

It will also lead to new commercial opportunities for SMEs offering technological or non-technological solutions to energy-efficiency related issues, inter alia by giving these SMEs the possibility to test, commercialise and deploy such innovative solutions, and connect with other SMEs needing their solutions.

This action is compatible with the following specific objectives of the SMP that aim at strengthening the competitiveness and sustainability of SMEs and achieving additionally at Union level through measures to:

• provide energy efficiency support to SMEs thereby fostering their sustainable growth and resilience;
• facilitate commercialisation and deployment of innovative technologies for energy reduction in the Single Market;
• promote a favourable business environment for SMEs, support their transition to more energy efficient and digital business models and promote new business opportunities for SMEs, especially those offering innovative business models and solutions;
• support the competitiveness and resilience of industrial ecosystems and sectors, particularly the ones that are more energy intensive;
• promote the modernisation of industry, contributing to a green, digital and resilient economy.

This action builds upon successful initiatives taken by the existing and consolidated Enterprise Europe Network and its new Sustainability Advisors, introduced in January 2022.
