About

PROSPECT CUBE is an EU LIFE-funded peer-to-peer learning and mentoring program that helps local and regional authorities turn sustainable energy and climate ambitions into implementable, finance-ready projects. The program focuses on innovative financing approaches and practical “enabling structures” (for example one-stop-shops, energy agencies, and energy communities) to reduce reliance on public funding alone and attract long-term investment. 

Why Prospect Cube?

Local and regional authorities sit at the centre of Europe’s clean energy transition, but starting points vary widely across Europe in technical capacity, financial know-how, and access to EU programs. PROSPECT CUBE addresses this gap with practical learning that supports project implementation and investment readiness, with special attention to smaller and remote municipalities.  

What we do

Tipperary Energy Agency (TEA) participates as a consortium partner and an internal mentor, contributing practical experience on implementing sustainable energy measures and enabling structures, and supporting peer exchange with participating authorities and agencies across Europe.
