Sub-projects signed under this framework
Translated version of this PSD: French
Project Description
The EBRD is considering establishing the Morocco Sustainable Energy Financing Facility (MorSEFF) Framework to the amount of up to EUR 80 million. The funds will be made available to Participating Financial Institutions (“PFIs”) in Morocco for on-lending to eligible private sector sub-borrowers for sustainable energy investments.
The project will promote penetration of energy efficient and renewable energy technologies, appliances and equipment in Morocco through stimulating demand and raising awareness of the benefits of investments in such technologies.
Transition Impact
The transition impact of the project is expected to derive from promoting the expansion of energy efficiency and renewable energy lending in Morocco. It will have positive demonstration effects particularly with respect to utilising financial intermediaries, for energy efficiency investments. The project will demonstrate the benefits of rational energy utilisation through improved industrial competitiveness in light of rising energy costs.
The project will also contribute to the development of the internal capacity of the PFIs for financing energy efficiency and renewable energy projects.
