ERDF Housing Call

A change to the European Structural Funds ERDF Regulation, proposed by the European Commission, to allow the inclusion of energy efficiency measures in social housing as activity eligible for support under ERDF programmes, has now been approved.

An allocation of £4 million ERDF funds will be made available for the call.

Projects must show how they can progress and stimulate market developments in new, developing and innovative technologies; supporting low carbon ways to generate energy from multiple sources. They will also need to show a whole house solution to overcoming barriers to energy efficiency. The project must be showcased in social housing domestic settings, encouraging other small and medium sized enterprises to learn from the findings.

All project applications need to show how they will return to EEDA three core elements; economic growth, measured change in CO2 emissions and energy usage reduction and behaviour change from the inhabitants of the dwellings.

The call will be launched on the 19 October 2009 with the bidding round deadline details below:
