In addition to the issue of qualified workers, the financing of the energy transition is a key concern for local authorities. Both are absolutely essential and closely interlinked. Many of the roles within the administrations tasked with driving the energy transition forward work on funding projects or are financed by project funds. Qualified workers are needed to secure funding, and these qualified staff members are regularly funded by precisely these funds. Accordingly, it is logical that the question of funding opportunities for local authorities arose in the Energiewende Partnerstadt 3.0 (EWPS 3.0) project, funded by the German Federal Foreign Office. This RENEWS PAPER is largely based on the experiences gained from the project over the last years, as well as on a digital workshop held as part of the project on EU funding sources such as Horizon Europe, The New European Bauhaus Facility, LIFE, Interreg and the Experts Fund for Municipal Partnerships Worldwide.
