Introduction:
Demand for economic development through increased energy efficiency, utilization of renewable energy and environmental improvements is well known and accepted also in Croatia. National and international financial institutions are showing an increasing interest for environmental and energy efficiency projects, leading to more funds gradually being available for investments. The financial institutions, however, are complaining about the lack of bankable projects. The local know-how and experience from development of appropriate Business Plans is often not in compliance with the demands from the Financial Institutions.
Project partners:
Energy Saving International - ENSI (www.ensi.no) in cooperation with REC Country Office Croatia conducts the training program on business planning on cleaner production, energy efficiency and renewables in Croatia. ENSI is consultancy company with more than 10 years of experience with energy efficiency, renewable energy and environmental programmes and projects in 18 countries of Central and Eastern Europe and New Independent States.
Project objectives:
The bussines plan (or for bigger projects – investment study), is the basic document which is submitted to a financing institution as part of the loan application.
The aimes of this training proggrame are:
Develop the first version of a business plan for their project.
• Present their business plan to a financial institution.
• Collaborate with the Financial Institution on further development resulting in a complete Business Plan in accordance with the Financial Institution's specific requirements
This program is split in two subsequent phases:
Phase 1 is the start up of the programme with identification of potential training beneficiaries, including information seminar to create awareness about training methodologies and to disseminate results from similar programs completed earlier.
Phase 2 is the full combined capacity building and project development programme. 20 experts and consultants from 8-10 companies are selected to participate in the programme.
Activities:
After the information seminar, and based on the interest and capacity of individual organizations to participate in the training, 10 project sponsors were chosen to participate further in interactive training.
The interactive training aimed at capacity building in business planning for commercial environmental and energy efficiency projects takes place in 6-months period. The program is structured in 3 workshops. In the period between the workshops, the participants develop first draft of concrete business plans, that are discussed and improved on each subsequent workshop as well as presented to financial institutions.
