The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is set to offer €400m in new financing for small-scale renewable energy and resource efficiency projects in Turkey.

The new financing will benefit renewable energy and resource efficiency projects in Turkey including solar, hydropower, wind, geothermal, waste-to-energy, and energy efficiency, as well as water saving and waste minimisation projects.

TurSEFF is a dedicated finance facility aimed at expanding finance for private companies willing to enhance their resource efficiency. It was launched in 2010 and has since been financed for more than 860 projects through five local banks.
