Uzbekistan - Development of Wind Power Potential
Uzbekistan intends to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by diversifying the energy generation mix. Several small-scale wind power installations exist, most of them, however, have local (off-grid) or pilot character. The project studied and assessed the potential for installing wind generation facilities on an industrial scale.

Regional - EU Programmes on Energy Efficiency
Countries: Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia
The project aimed at supporting financial intermediaries (FIs) and final beneficiaries (FBs) during the implementation and operation of EU Programmes on energy efficiency ("Facilities"). These facilities combine grants provided by the EU with EIB credit lines which aim at promoting the implementation of energy efficiency projects (sub-projects) in the EU and EU candidate countries.

Poland - Polish SME Sustainable Energy Financing Facility ("PolSEFF")
Background: The EBRD places special emphasis on supporting investments that improve energy efficiency or promote renewable energy and has highlighted Poland's potential for sustainable energy investment as a priority in the Bank's country strategy for Poland. Energy prices in Poland are increasing, and significant amounts of energy are wasted through out-dated and inefficient equipment and a lack of monitoring and control devices. Through SEFFs (Sustainable Energy Financing Facilities), the EBRD can reach smaller projects to which it cannot lend directly. Each credit line is supported by a substantial and complex technical assistance package that builds capacity in the local market and helps investors and local PFIs (participating financial intermediaries) overcome some of the barriers that hinder the implementation of these investments
Objectives of the Project: PolSEFF is expected to create a self-sustaining market for investment in sustainable energy projects in the Polish SME sector. This will be achieved by ensuring that PFIs become familiar with appraising and financing eligible energy efficiency and small renewable energy investment projects, SMEs become aware of the competitive advantages of such investments, local experts have the technical expertise to assist SMEs in identifying and preparing technically feasible, bankable projects.
Project Tasks:
- Component 1: Marketing and awareness raising for investments in sustainable energy projects
- Component 2: Training and capacity building to project financing institutes, local engineers and SMEs
- Component 3: Establishment of pre-approved small-scale projects
- Component 4: Support to the project origination processes and preliminary screening
- Component 5: Project preparation (eligibility check, support to subprojects)
- Component 6: Project management and administration
