Investments in Sustainable Energy in2014-2020 Cohesion Policy"Supporting the shift towards a low-carboneconomy in all sectors" 5 investment prioritiesproposed by the Commission for ERDF and CF:
a) Promoting the production and distribution of RES
b) Promoting EE and RES use in SMEs
c) Supporting EE and RES use in public infrastructures
and in the housing sector (housing only ERDF)d) Developing smart distribution systems at low
voltage levels ("smart grids")
e) Promoting low-carbon strategies for urban areas

Possibly separate investment priorities on researchand innovation in low-carbon technologies and onhigh-efficiency co-generation of heat and power
Possibly support also to large enterprises in this area
Possibly low-carbon strategies for all types ofterritories, and possible inclusion of urban mobility

Platforms" to serve as standardised rules for FIs using EU budget Regional Policy / "shared management":Strengthening and
expansion of FIs in the context of Cohesion Policy
European Structural and Investment (ESI) Funds
legislative framework 2014-2020 to: provide a clear set of rules, based on existing experience / guidance,
facilitate wider and more flexible use (e.g. capture synergies withgrants, wider thematic scope, more implementation options),
ensure better targeting, budgeting and monitoring of FIs,
achieve compatibility with financial instruments at EU level.16

Future Cohesion Policy: Ex-ante conditionality on'National or regional research and innovation
strategies for smart specalisation' In assessing their position and assets in the context of
the development and implementation of theirstrategies, MS and regions are invited to makefull use of the knowledge developed in the
framework of the SET-Planand the IntelligentEnergy Europe Programme.
A certain number of regions can be expected todecide that they will focus Cohesion Policy
resources for RTDI in the area of RES or EE.
