Summary sheet
- Energy - Electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply
The project consists of an investment fund focusing on renewable energy projects in the European Economic Area, with around 50% of the funds expected to be invested in France and Italy.
The fund will mainly invest equity and quasi-equity in small to medium size wind, solar and other/innovative technologies (biogas/biomass, energy storage, energy efficiency and green mobility), in the European Economic Area.
Most of the Fund's underlying infrastructure investments will either require a full environmental impact assessment (EIA) or a screening decision by the national competent authority to determine whether an EIA is required or not. The Bank will require the fund to ensure that its underlying investments respect the relevant EU directives and the environmental and social standards of the EIB.
The fund manager will be required to take all the requisite measures to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the projects financed by the Fund have been or will be (as appropriate) tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation (Directive 2014/23/EU, 2014/24/EU, 2014/25/EU, where applicable, as well as Directives 89/665/EEC and 92/13/EEC) as interpreted by the Court of Justice of the EU, with publication of tender notices in the EU Official Journal, as and where required.
