ESV-Design051129en How to create a regional/local TPF market? ESCOs: advice & training Support the decision making process Clients: advice for projects General promotion of the instrument

ESV-Design051129en The Upper Austrian TPF Programmes interesting principle, but no market development by itself promotion & advice to clients and ESCOs & (small) subsidy municipalities & one type of TPF only more than 100 projects realised more than 15 ESCOs active in the region
