Short-term financing to small solar PV, onshore wind and energy efficiency projects/development companies
Some of the projects and in particular the renewable energy projects to be co-financed by the fund are expected to fall under Annex II of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive 2011/92/EU in which case the projects would be subject to an EIA based on Annex III of the EIA Directive.
