BOV and APS have partnered up with the European Investment Fund (EIF), mandated by the Maltese Managing Authority for the European Regional Development Fund, to deliver 0% interest loans for investment into electric and hybrid vehicles, energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives.

EERE is the financial instrument which makes this advantageous financing possible. It consists of a portfolio guarantee and an interest rate subsidy, which applies for up to 10 years and helps to push the loan interest rate for final recipients to 0%. The EERE financial instrument is available to private individuals, SMEs, Mid-Caps, large enterprises, constituted bodies and entities in the public and     private sector which do not qualify as “undertaking” within the meaning of state aid rules.

The combination of EERE FI with other grant schemes is also possible, provided the EERE loans are not used to pre-finance the grant. EERE aims to help Maltese entities and individuals go green in a faster and more affordable manner. Potential loan applicants will be interested to know that EERE is complemented by an advisory support package, implemented by the European Investment Bank (EIB) and PwC. Access to this support can be requested through BOV and APS.
