Promoter – Financial Intermediary
GORENJE GOSPODINJSKI APARATI DDLocation
Description
The project comprises the promoter's planned expenditures in research, development and innovation (RDI) for the years 2016-2019 related to the development of new, better performing and more energy-efficient white goods.
Objectives
The loan will support the promoter's research in improved performance, user-friendliness, lower energy consumption and lower use of resources (such as water) for a range of household appliances. The project will be carried out in its research and development (R&D) centre and headquarters in Slovenia as well as in other R&D centres in Sweden, The Netherlands and Czech Republic.
Sector(s)
Proposed EIB finance (Approximate amount)
EUR 50 million
Total cost (Approximate amount)
Not disclosed.
Environmental aspects
The project's RDI activities will be carried out in existing facilities already authorised that will not change in scope due to the project. An environmental impact assessment (EIA) is therefore not required by Directive 2011/92/EU. The project, if successful, will have positive environmental effects leading to the introduction on the market of better performing and more environmentally friendly home appliances that will substitute less eco-friendly white goods.
Procurement
The promoter has been assessed by the EIB as being a private company not operating in the utilities sector and not having a status of a contracting entity, thus not subject to EU rules on public procurement.
