Invest-NL collaborates with Regional Energy Funds

Joint financing and cooperation make it possible to consolidate expertise, increase chances of success, share risks and present entrepreneurs with offers better suited to their needs.

This partnership enables large-scale projects to be financed more effectively. In cases where a regional energy fund (REF) is unable to provide sufficient scope, Invest-NL may have more to offer. Their cooperation covers not only financing but also the acceleration of project development, helping those involved with business development and the exchange of knowledge and experience. Regional projects call for local knowledge, which is abundantly present in REFs.

Since 2012, REFs in the Netherlands have played an important part in accelerating the energy transition. Between 2012 and 2018, they provided € 400 million in funding to 700 projects. This has enabled over € 1.5 billion worth of projects to be realised. By signing a formal cooperation deal, the REFs and Invest-NL aim to accelerate and expand this success still further.
