GEEREF
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) targeted




Description of the Project
The Global Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Fund (GEEREF) is a climate focused fund of funds investing in specialist renewable energy and energy efficiency PE funds, developing small and medium sized projects in emerging markets.
GEEREF was structured to catalyse private sector investments into funds and underlying projects by leveraging the public sector seed contributions:
- GEEREF was initiated by the European Commission in 2006 and launched in 2008 with funding from the European Union, Germany and Norway, totalling € 112 million.
- GEEREF successfully concluded its fundraising from private sector investors on May 2015, which brought the total funds under management to € 222 million.
- GEEREF invests in private equity funds which, in turn, invest in private sector projects, thereby further enhancing the leveraging effect of GEEREF’s investments. It is estimated that, with € 222 million of funds under management, over € 10 billion could be mobilised through the funds in which GEEREF participates and the final projects in which these funds invest.
