The SUPER-HEERO project kicked of last month with the aim to develop an innovative and replicable financial scheme for energy efficiency investment in small and medium supermarkets, based on stakeholder and community engagement.
The approach relies on three main instruments: engineered Energy Performance Contracts (EPC), product-service models for technology providers engagement and community-based crowdfunding/cooperative initiatives.
SUPER-HEERO will enable upfront cost reduction and engagement of additional investment sources, while bringing direct economic and environmental savings for the supermarket, as well as cascade to the final customer, the engaged ESCOs and utilities, and technology providers.
