The EuroPACE Project Pillars
Pillar 1: Assess market readiness
The EuroPACE partners conducted a preliminary legal and fiscal analysis of the EU28 countries, seeking to identify the most suitable legal and fiscal set-up and aiming to identify the highest potential demand for EuroPACE implementation.
Pillar 2: Launch home renovation program in Spain
HolaDomus program was launched in Olot, Spain in early 2020. HolaDomus is the first eco-sustainable home renovation program combining affordable financing, technical assistance and smart funding in one place. HolaDomus also supports vulnerable groups by combining grants, subsidies with affordable financing.
Pillar 3: Engage with Leader Cities
Expanding its reach throughout Europe, EuroPACE has identified a number of Leader Cities to join the project. Lisbon (Portugal, via E-NOVA), Porto (Portugal, via AdEPorto), Valencia (Spain) and Mouscron (Belgium) have come on board and are actively exploring ways to set up the EuroPACE mechanism and adapt the One-Stop-Shop structure and affordable financing in their respective areas.
Our Home Renovation Formula
Technical Assistance
Supporting customers throughout their renovation journey is key; EuroPACE ensures targeted advice and coordination for homeowners, as well as contractor training and verification+.
Affordable Financing
The project ensures the availability of affordable, long-term financing accessible to all homeowners. EuroPACE loans are long-term, which results in affordable monthly installments.
Smart Funding
EuroPACE is aimed at making the renewable energy transition equitable and affordable for all via de-risking solutions set up to provide broader access to financing.
What makes EuroPACE Unique?
- People-centric support. Removing barriers to home renovation by delivering a citizen-ready solution, from application to project completion.
- Aligned with the goals of the cities. Supporting cities in reaching the 2050 carbon neutrality with no additional public debt.
- Leveraging private funding. Mobilizing private financing for public good; offering affordable financing for sustainable home renovations.
Innovative Financing
EuroPACE project's goal is to provide affordable financing to homeowners. This can be achieved by lowering the risk of non-payment and thus obtaining long-term, low-cost capital from investors. The project is exploring options for linking the financing to a property and working with public authorities to ensure a secure repayment and collection mechanism.
