The €17.5 billion financing effort by the EIB Group will nearly double the current level of support during the 2025-2027 period. It will target energy efficiency and decarbonisation steps taken by SMEs and will use a combination of existing and new financial products, including debt and equity instruments.The initiative aims to mobilise total investment of over €65 billion by 2027 for energy savings by SMEs, helping to close a market gap in Europe. The initiative was announced by EU Commissioner for Energy & Housing Dan Jørgensen and EIB Group President Nadia Calviño at a conference in Brussels today.
