EEEF – The European Energy Efficiency Fund
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) targeted



Description of the Project
The European Energy Efficiency Fund (EEEF) focuses on financing energy efficiency, small-scale renewable energy, and clean urban transport projects (at market rates) targeting municipal, local and regional authorities and public and private entities acting on behalf of those authorities. They, therefore, aim to support the goals of the European Union to promote a sustainable energy market and climate protection.
Structured as an evergreen blended fund, the EEEF aims to attract additional capital into climate financing. The environmentally and socially responsible way of conducting its business, the innovative public–private partnership structure and the experience of its stakeholders will be used to bring more capital into an area whose financial means are currently insufficient to strongly contribute to the mitigation of climate change.
