Director General, Head of Lending and Advisory in the European Union, at European Investment Bank
Was invited today at the Energy Governors’ meeting of the World Economic Forum by Christian Bruch, to present the perspective of the European Investment Bank (EIB) in financing the energy transtition. I insisted on the progress made on the European continent, and our achievements under #repowerEU, with over 20 billion euros per year invested by European Investment Bank (EIB) alone in Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency and Research and Development in the field. This includes also our special effort for the European wind industry. I mentioned also areas where we need to progress further: interconnections, access to finance for non-ionvestment grade borrowers closing on PPAs, financing of innovation in grid management systems. Further, I noted the vibrant call of several participants for more European presence outside of EU borders, in particular in Central Asia, where there is a notable absence of European equity investors and project developers. This will, undoubtedly, be picked up by EIB Global | BEI Monde in the context of future financing operations.
