SUSI Partners has secured a €25 million commitment from the European Investment Fund (EIF) for its SUSI Energy Efficiency & Transition Credit Fund (SEETCF). The investment aims to leverage SUSI’s extensive experience in financing energy efficiency and energy transition solutions at scale. Marjut Falkstedt, Chief Executive of the EIF, commented: “The EIF, with the backing of the InvestEU programme, is delighted to be able to contribute to SEETCF, which carries out specialist financing to accelerate decarbonisation in all segments of the economy. “This is closely aligned to the main priorities of both the EU and the EIB Group – namely, accelerating the energy transition in Europe by attracting more private investment into this field.” Launched in 2022, SEETCF is the third fund in SUSI’s credit series and features an investor base that includes European institutional asset owners, such as pension funds, insurance companies, and other private and public investors. SEETCF’s focus on energy efficiency and transition solutions delivered by small and mid-sized companies aligns well with the EIF’s mandate. SUSI’s network of approximately 60 energy service companies and project originators will further support the fund’s mission of delivering positive climate impact, as classified under SFDR 9. To date, SUSI Partners has invested approximately €700 million in “as-a-service” energy transition solutions through its senior-secured, asset-backed financing. The solutions address a wide range of energy transition needs, including industrial decarbonisation, deep building retrofits, LED streetlighting, smart meters, and solar PV self-consumption. #cleanenergy
