In this report, the four CitizEE pilot projects (Portugal, Belgium, Croatia and Lithuania) evaluated the appropriateness of using certain Structured Financial Solutions versus others. In doing so, they were guided by the document "Map of Structured Financial Solutions for Citizen Financing Schemes for Energy Efficiency", which was developed within the CitizEE project to support the selection of Eligible Public Financing Instruments.

This guidance document aims to help CitizEE Pilot Regions to select a suitable Public Financing Instrument (PFI) to be set-up to support the development of their CFs4EE Financing Scheme for Energy Efficient Buildings. The document explores the different existing Public Financing Instruments (PFIs) that the CitizEE Pilot Regions can implement to build their CFs4EE Financing Scheme, with the objective of launching large scale investment program in the energy renovation of buildings and attracting greater levels of private‐sector investments, including Citizen Funding.

The market characterization analysis focuses on the current local Citizen Funding market related to the CFs4EE Financing Scheme scope and targeted beneficiaries defined in the grant agreement for each of the pilot country/region. The objective of the Market Characterization analysis is to identify the key decision elements that will serve the evaluation of the CFs4EE Financing Scheme to be developed by the project and the Public Financing Instrument that will support the scheme.

This report is a compilation of the initial situation, the planned activities as well as the opportunities and difficulties of CitizEE’s four pilot regions Portugal (GOPARITY), Belgium (VEB), Croatia (REGEA) and Lithuania (VIPA). The result is a comparing overview of the current state from a legal point of view. In order to achieve a detailed view on the cases the report was written in close cooperation with the partner countries as well as with ECN and ENERGINVEST. With the help of a questionnaire, follow-up questions and discussions it was possible to not only finalise a legal and regulatory analysis but to also get an impression what other relevant aspects for the pilot regions do exist.
