French independent power producer (IPP) Akuo Energy, the European Investment Bank (EIB) and Natixis Energeco have signed a €330m tripartite agreement for the implementation of a new renewable energy programme designed to support solar, wind, hydraulic and wood biomass energy projects in the EU.
French commercial bank Natixis Energeco has confirmed it will structure the programme’s investments, while the CIC will support deployment.

Around forty assets held by Akuo Energy meet the new programme’s criteria and will be eligible for project debt financing.
In November 2015, a €329m investment programme was launched by Akuo Energy and the EIB to support nine renewable energy power station projects in France.
EIB vice-president Ambroise Fayolle said: “The fight against global warming lies at the heart of the EU bank’s priorities, with it devoting at least 25% of its annual business to this issue.
“I am delighted to be able to continue our fruitful cooperation with Akuo Energy and its financial partners such as the BPCE Group through a new programme of renewable energy projects in France and elsewhere in the EU totalling €330m.
