2 Agenda 1 eeef key elements 2 Portfolio Overview

3 eeef Key Elements

4 eeef at a glance Objective eeef is an innovative public-private partnership dedicated to mitigating climate change through market based financing in the member states of the European Union Beneficiaries Municipal, local and regional (and central) authorities or public and private entities acting on behalf of those authorities such as utilities, public transportation providers, social housing associations, ESCOs etc. eeef s capital Initial capitalization of the fund amounting to 265m provided by the European Commission, the European Investment Bank, Cassa Depositi e Prestiti and Deutsche Bank Fund s investments are split into three project categories: Investments Energy Efficiency (EE) Renewable Energy (RE) Clean Urban Transport

5 Objective and sponsors of the eeef Background and objective Commitment of the EU member states to achieve the 20/20/20 goals: 20% increase in EE, 20% reduction of CO2 emissions, and 20% RE in EU's energy mix by 2020 Substantial potential for EE and small scale RE in the European public sector Set up a funding source to enhance EE and foster RE dedicated financing within the European Union, primarily through the provision of dedicated financing to: municipal, local and regional (and national) authorities public and private entities acting on behalf of those authorities such as utilities, public transportation providers, social housing associations, ESCOs etc. Sponsors European Commission (Initiator) European Investment Bank (Founding investor) Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (Founding investor) Deutsche Bank (Investor and investment advisor) Focus areas: EE, RE and clean urban transport

12 eeef Technical Assistance Facility Following the European Commission TA Facility managed by the EEEF, the Fund set up the EEEF TA Facility to support ambitious public beneficiaries in developing bankable sustainable energy investments. The EEEF TA Facility aims to bridge the gap between sustainable energy plans and real investments through supporting all activities necessary to prepare investments into sustainable energy projects. Going forward EEEF is open (no deadline) for TA project proposals on a first-comefirst-serve basis, subject to availability of funds and the Fund s appetite for proposed sector/technology etc. More info:
