IEE Programme Structure

The IEE programme is structured into four areas including:

SAVE – This field of action is aimed at addressing improvements in energy efficiency and the rational use of energy. In particular it focuses on buildings, industry sectors and energy efficient products. Examples of SAVE projects can be found on the IEE website under the Energy Efficiency section.

ALTENER – Actions under this section aim to promote the use of new and renewable sources of energy and assist in their integration into the local environment and energy systems. Examples of ALTENER projects can be found on the IEE website under the Renewable Energy section.

STEER – This supports initiatives relating to all energy aspects of transport, including the diversification of fuels and the more efficient use of energy in transport. Examples of STEER projects can be found on the IEE website under the Transport section.

Integrated Initiatives – Actions where energy efficiency and renewable energy sources are integrated and synchronised in several sectors of the economy and/or where various instruments, tools and players are combined in the same action. Examples of these projects can be found on the IEE website under the Horizontal, cross-cutting section.
