Financing terms
The implementation of the project will have to be preceded by an energy audit, which will justify the need and scope of the implemented solutions. We recommend establishing cooperation with the contractor now. By the time the recruitment is launched, all necessary audit documentation should be ready. The decision to finance the project will first require a positive assessment of the Applicant's creditworthiness. In this way, the competences of commercial banks will be used to confirm the economic potential and financial feasibility of the analyzed investment projects. In this case, it is also worth making the necessary financial analyzes in advance.
Settlement rates
The co-financing obtained from the ecological loan must be used for a comprehensive project preceded by an energy audit. The audit should show at least 30% savings in primary energy consumption.
