For those in projects

To make things easier for those of you working on initiatives that have received funding under the Viable Cities program, we have compiled some information that may be helpful in your work. 

Reports and plans

Project funding is managed by the Swedish Energy Agency, with the exception of a few projects funded by Vinnova. The Viable Cities program office works closely with the Swedish Energy Agency to ensure that reporting and projects work as well as possible.

During the course of the project, reports must be submitted to the Swedish Energy Agency and reporting is also done to the program office according to instructions at each reporting time.

More information about reporting to the Swedish Energy Agency can be found in the video and PDF below. The decision granting funding for the project specifies the dates for each reporting occasion. Reminders about these are also sent to project managers.

At the start of the project

When the project has been notified of the decision to grant funding, the conditions appendix sent with the decision must be submitted to the Swedish Energy Agency. This appendix must be signed by the project manager and the authorized signatory of the organization that is the coordinating party in the project. It is also important to carefully read the Swedish Energy Agency's rules on eligible costs and state aid.

At the start of the project, it is advisable to draw up a simple communication plan. Please read Prata på – Viable Cities communication guide. 

Annually during the project period

Progress reports are sent to the Swedish Energy Agency via My Pages. These reports state how much funding the project has received and whether any deviations have occurred. Additional reporting from the project directly to the program office will be relevant and communicated directly from the program office.

At the end of the project

A final report is sent to the Swedish Energy Agency. All documents are submitted via My Pages. Direct links to the Swedish Energy Agency's templates for the reporting documents can be found here:
