EU Clean Energy Investment Strategy

planned

The EU's Clean Energy Investment Strategy aims to use public funding to de-risk clean energy projects, crowd in private capital, and close the investment gap for Europe's clean energy transition. The strategy involves institutions like the European Commission and the European Investment Bank acting as catalysts, with instruments such as equity support, loan facilities, and revenue securitisation to improve project bankability. The focus is on infrastructure-heavy investments, particularly grids, distribution networks, transmission, cross-border interconnections, offshore links, and hydrogen infrastructure through the 2030s. The strategy addresses challenges in financing, grid access, permitting, and revenue visibility to ensure capital is effectively mobilized for viable projects.
