ICP
EU-wide technical support and UK advocacy for ICP’s Investor Ready Energy Efficiency Certification™.
The Investor Confidence Project Europe unlocks access to financing for the building, industry,district energy and street lighting markets by standardizing how energy efficiency projects are developed, documented and measured.
What did the client need?
Verco were part of a consortium delivering a major European Commission funded initiative to develop energy efficiency as an investment asset class. They sought to do this by developing a standardised document set, and working with investors, building owners and energy service suppliers across Europe.
How did Verco support the client?
Verco’s work on this project included UK advocacy for the programme and EU-wide technical support. We developed the technical documentation for the scheme covering the building, industrial and infrastructure sectors. We also created the associated training and accreditation scheme for Project Developers and Quality Assurance providers.
Verco also reviewed standards and engaged with national energy efficiency experts in 30 countries. We trained more than 600 Project Developers and Quality Assurance Providers across Europe.
What was the result?
Verco successfully helped more than 30 projects and programmes on their way to achieving ICP’s Investor Ready Energy Efficiency Certification™. This included a £13m energy efficiency, CHP and district heating project for three hospitals in Liverpool.
