Funding and Budgeting for Clean Energy Transition Planning

This document is a public guide focused on funding and budgeting for Clean Energy Transition Planning (CETP). It outlines the challenges faced by local and regional authorities in securing financing for CETP projects, particularly in the context of limited public budgets. The guide aims to enhance the skills and knowledge of local authorities in developing bankable projects, establishing innovative financing schemes, and identifying suitable funding sources. It presents an in-depth exploration of various financial mechanisms, including grants, subsidies, and public-private partnerships, while providing practical advice on cost calculations and budget management. The guide also emphasizes the importance of a robust budgeting process from the project's planning phase and encourages the sharing of best practices among participants. The content is structured into two main units, focusing on funding and budgeting for CETP, each designed for one-hour training sessions supported by educational materials.
