The “Horizon 2020” funded project LEAP4SME – Linking Energy Audit Policies to enhance and support SMEs towards energy efficiency – aims to support member states in establishing or improving effective policies for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to undergo energy audits and implement cost-effective, recommended energy – saving measures.

This will be achieved by:

  • Mapping national programmes
  • Assessing energy use by sector
  • Developing innovative energy audit policies with stakeholders
  • Interacting with policy makers and business associations
  • Proposing policy recommendations

LEAP4SME main objectives are the following:

  • Identify main barriers for unlocking the potential of energy efficiency measures through energy audit recommendations.
  • Mobilise and inform private stakeholders of existing opportunities, facilitating discourse with policymakers.
  • Propose solutions for policy makers for energy efficiency schemes with energy and non-energy benefits.
  • Research, analyse and involve stakeholders in the current debate for a new definition for SMEs within Article 8 of the Energy Efficiency Directive.
