ERDF-ESF OVERVIEW 2007-20131 EnergY EXAMPLES OF PROJECTS ELIH-Med - Energy efficiency in low income homes in the Mediterranean region National Agency for New Technology, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development, Latium (Italy) Mediterranean programme (MED) 31 €6,992,797 ERDF 2011-2014 ELIH-Med is a strategic project including partners from seven countries of the North Mediterranean who have worked together to improve energy efficiency and encourage energy savings in «low rent households» in the Mediterranean area. Focusing on this type of household is essential to meet the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Indeed, these households comprise between 30 and 40% of all Mediterranean households and the energy performance of these buildings is generally poor. They are not usually taken into account when drawing up energy efficiency policies and their occupants have only limited access to credit. The installation of solar panels on the roof of the Rivière Salée sports centre Syndicat Mixte d'Electricité de la Martinique Martinique €241,704 ERDF 31 2009 The installation of 1,296 solar panels jointly financed by the ERDF on the roof of the Rivière Salée sports centre, has made it possible to limit greenhouse gas emissions and more than 100 homes are now supplied with clean energy. This project is not limited to just producing energy. It has also made it possible to create a genuine research laboratory for the Syndicat Mixte d'Electricité de la Martinique's teams. Among other things, for the first time ever it has been able to launch pilot studies into solar energy in tropical climates. The project therefore provides a better knowledge of solar energy as a resource to be able to plan and improve energy production, and to anticipate faults and breakdowns in the world's tropical regions. 1.

Syndicat Mixte d'Electricite de la Martinique The «energy» theme is only a priority for the ERDF and features highly as part of European Territorial Cooperation programmes. In the energy field, most of the projects which have been financed have focused on renewable energy (biomass and solar energy) and on energy efficiency through the thermal rehabilitation of social housing. This theme also covers the wind power and hydro-electric power sectors.
