CliMalta

An online tool titled ‘CliMalta’ has been developed by the European Investment Bank thanks to funding support from the European Investment Advisory Hub and in a close cooperation with the EIF and adelphi. This tool is aimed at helping users identify the possible energy related savings and possible financial savings that will be recognised through an investment into energy efficiency and renewable energy product solutions.

CliMalta will contribute to implementation of the Financial Instrument for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy in Malta (FI EERE). This instrument is dedicated to facilitating access to finance for both households and enterprises (entrepreneurs, SMEs, mid-caps) in relation to Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Investments in Malta. FI EERE is implemented by the EIF  and co-financed by the Republic of Malta and the European Union under the European Regional Development Fund.
