After more than a year of its operation, the Investors Dialogue on Energy has laid the ground for next steps in the development of practical recommendations for new and improved financing solutions for the energy sector.
What have we done so far?
- We analysed the main investment barriers and financial models characteristic for energy projects and investments throughout the EU-27 for each of the 5 segments in focus: generation, transmission and distribution, storage, heating and cooling, services and prosumers;
- We discussed the availability of existing schemes (such as loans and guarantees, blended finance, equity and quasi-equity, green and sustainability-linked bonds) to identify shortcomings and areas for improvement to better mobilise financing to reach Fit for 55 and REPowerEU’s ambitions.
What lies ahead?
- We will work on developing recommendations for the improvement of existing schemes based on best practices, WG member's experience and Member States' specificities;
- We will work on proposing the design for new financial support schemes to support energy investments and help achieve EU's energy and climate targets.
For this we need to involve more financial institutions (investment funds, banks, national promotional banks and institutions, etc.), industry associations and sectoral experts. Should you be interested in participating in the dialogue, apply by 9 August 2023 and join one of our five Working Groups . Do not hesitate to share this opportunity with your network.
