CEOS — City Energy Optimization Solutions

CEOS is a structured, multi-year LIFE-funded program optimizing energy performance across municipal buildings and pump stations, transforming fragmented energy measures into a data-driven, investment-ready model for strategic energy transition.

EU Funding: €1,269,608 Duration: 36 months Program: LIFE Clean Energy Transition

GAP-1011167707

Investment Portfolio: ~€28.3M mobilized during the project across 7 partner municipalities and ~€22.8M in the 5 years following completion.

Partner Municipalities & Investment Portfolio (~€28.3M)

Within CEOS, funding applications totaling approximately €28.3M have already been submitted or are under submission for seven municipalities and municipal enterprises, leveraging national and regional financing tools. A further €22.8M is projected in the five years following project completion.

Project Objectives:

Assessment and optimization of energy performance across buildings and pump stations
Integration of renewable energy sources into municipal infrastructure
Reduction of operational energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions
Development of Municipal Emission Reduction Plans (MERPs)
Access to EU, national and private financing tools
Tender support and knowledge transfer to partner municipalities

Policy Value:

CEOS enables municipalities to move from fragmented energy measures to a structured strategic transition model — delivering visible, measurable results within a defined timeframe.
