Bank lending (credit lines and guarantees)
Credit lines or green mortgages from local banks to support EE investments. They can be, for example, support the portfolio of EE smaller investments, or increase the energy efficiency of production process in factories/businesses/SMEs. Examples of this are: - renovation of existing housing stock to adapt it to better preserve the temperature over different types of weather reducing the amount of energy to heat or cool the building/house (i.e. weatherization interventions, insulation, retrofit), or
-energy efficient improvements in industrial facilities (i.e. interventions to increase the efficiency of factories' power plants by upgrading old ones, or replacing them with more efficient models);
-upgrades of energy transmission systems to reduce the leakages and waste of energy.
