What can the funds be used for?
The loan supports investments related to the green transformation of enterprises, in particular:
- improving energy efficiency, including the use of renewable energy sources (RES), energy storage, modernization of technological processes, and energy-efficient lighting;
- reducing resource consumption and waste through the purchase of equipment, infrastructure modernization, and the implementation of solutions enabling recycling and material reuse;
- automation, robotization, and digitalization of enterprises to improve production, work organization, and management;
- reducing the material intensity of production by implementing technologies that extend product lifecycles and increase their recyclability;
- implementing circular economy (CE) solutions, including business process optimization, environmental audits, technical analyses, and consulting.
The goal of this support is to help companies transition to a more innovative, low-carbon, and resource-efficient economy.
Our services as part of the energy efficiency audit
The audit is a key step in the process of applying for grants and grants. We will prepare a study that will meet the requirements of the Energy Efficiency Act and meet the expectations of, for example, an ecological loan.
Financing terms
The loan offers preferential financing terms for companies implementing innovative and ecological investments. The maximum support amount is PLN 6 million. The base interest rate is 1% per annum, although it is possible to reduce the interest rate by 0.5% for projects involving the implementation of process or product innovation in the manufacturing of goods or services.
The standard loan repayment period is up to 10 years. For comprehensive investments related to improving energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources (RES), the repayment period can be extended to 12 years. An additional benefit is the possibility of obtaining a grant of up to 20% towards the repayment of the loan principal. The amount of support depends on the scope of the project:
- 20% of the loan value for comprehensive Final Investments that include energy efficiency or RES components and generate at least two environmental benefits,
- 10% of the loan value for Final Investments that generate at least two environmental benefits.
These preferential financing terms are designed to support the implementation of projects that combine business growth with reducing the environmental impact of business operations.
To prepare an application, it is necessary to properly develop investment documentation and provide information confirming the environmental benefits of the planned project. As experts in energy consulting, we will guide you through the entire process, from the audit and preparation of technical documentation to the submission of the financing application.
