What is LAUNCH?
LAUNCH was a EU H2020-funded project that aims to accelerate deal closure and pipeline growth for Sustainable Energy Assets through standardised material. This includes investor-grade Energy Performance Contracts, standardised risk assessment protocols for investors, a roadmap for project developers to access growth capital, and market-tested value propositions for project developers’ end-clients.
OUR VISION
Accelerated deal closure and market growth at scale while enabling the aggregation of Sustainable Energy Assets as tradable securities.
OUR MISSION
To develop THE framework of best-in-class, standardized tools that will launch Sustainable Energy Assets as tradable securities, and to deploy this framework in cooperation with projects and investors.
“The LAUNCH project focuses on bringing money and liquidity into the energy efficiency market allowing also small and medium-sized companies to take hold of it”
The Consortium
The project consortium was composed by Joule Assets Europe (Italy), leading the consortium, research institution TNO (Netherlands), BNP Paribas Fortis (Belgium), EnerSave Capital (Luxembourg) and New Energy Group (Ireland).
The consortium is keen to deliver on the vision of scaling project deployment through LAUNCH and encourages contractors seeking support (in either accessing project finance or growth capital) to connect. Investors (both private and public institutions) are also strongly encouraged to make contact and contribute.
“Stabilizing a contract vehicle and putting a solid foundation that allows ESCOs to securitize asset is a necessary part of penetrating the market”
The work of LAUNCH lives on through the Sustainable Energy Finance Association
