Kafalat Energy programme overview
Kafalat Energy is the result of a partnership between the European Union and Kafalat SAL to address energy constraints faced by SMEs while ensuring reduction of negative environmental impact.
This programme will provide eligible SMEs with loan guarantees for investments in Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.
The EU support enabled the extension of resources to increase the maximum loan amount and extend the duration of the guarantee and the grace period.
The Kafalat Energy programme distinguishes between three types of investments, and thus three types of guarantees.
