Summary sheet
- Energy - Electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply
The proposed operation concerns an investment in an equity fund providing growth capital through minority equity participation to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in the energy transition sector.
TILT Capital Fund I will predominantly invest equity and quasi-equity in European low-carbon transition projects mainly developed through SMEs. The fund will generally seek to acquire significant minority or majority stakes in each company having strong corporate governance rights, to be able to monitor and manage the investment risks.
The EIB will ensure that the Fund's operational guidelines comply with its social and environmental standards.
The Fund has been assessed by EIB as investing only in private companies not being subject to EU rules on public procurement or concessions. However, if after the appraisal, the EIB were to conclude that the Fund invests also in projects subject to EU public procurement legislation, then the Bank would require the fund manager to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the projects financed by the Fund will be done in accordance with the Bank's Guide to Procurement.
