PROSPECT+

Welcome to SYNERGISE+, an innovative and practical Excel-based tool designed to help decision-makers prioritize actions from Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plans (SECAPs). The tool helps in aligning local goals and preferences with climate resilience objectives. SYNERGISE+ facilitates qualitative analysis of mitigation and adaptation actions with the information cities already have on all the actions. There is also a guide providing a framework for objective decision-making, involving stakeholders, and understanding various alternatives and benefits. Together, the tool and the guide empower cities to make, and effectively implement, informed decisions.

If you would like to contribute to improving the tool, please fill out this simple survey after using SYNERGISE+.

Note: the tool was tested in the Excel for Microsoft Office 365 and works well in all newer versions. However, some text in graphs might disappear -  in that case, simply adjust the zoom.

The PROSPECT+ team has developed a Project Finance Readiness Tool in order to help local authorities assess the financial maturity of their planned sustainable energy projects. The tool is a self-assessment of the finance readiness of their projects to seek funding for its implementation. The tool further provides orientation for local authorities on the elements needed in order to provide potential financiers with a high-quality proposal.

The tool focusses on several important areas, including details about your local authority, the scope and impact of your sustainable energy project, the roles of promoters and stakeholders as well as critical legal aspects. These areas are essential to ensure that your project meets the criteria of financial institutions, increasing its chances of securing funding.
