Background
EU cohesion policy is about solidarity; helping lagging regions
to cup in order to strengthen the economic, social and
territorial ‘cohesion’ of the Union
Structural Funds and Cohesion Funds (SF/CF) are
available to reach this goal
The new SF/CF programming period (2007-2013) focuses on
the link with the goals of the Lisbon Agenda (competitiveness)
and Gothenburg (sustainable development)
Energy investments are vital for regional development
Renewable energy systems (RES) and energy efficiency (EE)
projects can contribute to a better environment, improved
competitiveness, more jobs, and overall economic growth
Few energy-related projects are currently
financed through SF/CF
EC documents advocate the financing of
RES & EE investments through SF/CF
Managing Authorities often lack awareness and
know-how to take into account energy aspects
when promoting and managing SF/CF

Energy opportunities in OPs 2007-2013 of
BULGARIA
included in:
 OP “Development of the Competitiveness of the Bulgarian Economy”
 OP “Regional Development”
 OP “Environment”
funded by the European Regional Development Fund (85%) and
co-financed from the national budget (15%).
The above mentioned three OPs use national (sectoral) approach
(not regional or mix approach).
