Project
Under Implementation

In May 2026, the European Union adopted restrictive measures that prevent the European Investment Bank (EIB) and European Investment Fund (EIF) from providing financial support to renewable energy projects using inverters from 'high risk countries' including China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. This affects photovoltaic, wind power, and energy storage projects, including power conversion systems

Description

Description

In May 2026, the European Union adopted restrictive measures that prevent the European Investment Bank (EIB) and European Investment Fund (EIF) from providing financial support to renewable energy projects using inverters from 'high risk countries' including China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. This affects photovoltaic, wind power, and energy storage projects, including power conversion systems (PCS) used in energy storage. The restrictions apply to all inverter products from these countries or companies controlled by entities from these countries, even if production is in Europe. Key timelines include reporting project pipelines by May 1, 2026, exemption deadlines by September 1, 2026, and project maturity determination by November 1, 2026. The EIB also established a dedicated EUR 2 billion financing facility for renewable energy projects excluding those involving high-risk country inverters.
