Modernisation Fund: Industrial Energy Efficiency
Industrial energy-efficiency projects may be relevant to the Modernisation Fund where they reduce overall energy use and fit the applicable priority area and national support route. Depending on the technology and scheme, project concepts may include process optimisation, efficient equipment, heat recovery, electrification of industrial processes and other measures that reduce energy demand.
The project’s technology alone does not establish eligibility. The applicable national programme may define eligible sectors, applicant types, cost categories, minimum project size, aid intensity and timing. These conditions must be checked against current official documentation.
Project-fit questions
- Which country will host the investment?
- What industrial process and baseline energy consumption apply?
- What measures are proposed, and what energy savings are expected?
- What is the investment budget and planned implementation window?
- What is the applicant and ownership structure?
- What other public support has been sought or received for the same costs?
Information to prepare
- Country and project site
- Industrial process and baseline energy consumption
- Proposed measures and expected energy savings
- Investment budget and planned implementation dates
- Applicant and ownership structure
- Other public support sought or received for the same costs
- Any environmental permits or assessments already in place

FAQ
Can all industrial energy-efficiency projects get Modernisation Fund support?
No. The project must fit the Fund’s priority areas and the specific conditions of the relevant national scheme, including eligible sectors, applicant types, cost categories, minimum project size and timing.
Is the technology alone enough to qualify?
No. Technology choice is only one factor. National programme rules and the applicant’s profile also determine eligibility.
Who decides whether my project is eligible?
The relevant national authority or scheme administrator decides eligibility within the framework set at EU level.
How can Impact Funding Europe help?
We can screen the project against the Fund’s objectives, identify relevant national schemes for verification, structure the funding case and support the preparation of supporting information.
