Summary sheet
- Energy - Electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply
The operation concerns the equity participation into Meridiam GIGF, which will invest into SMEs operating in the sectors of energy transition, clean mobility, circular economy, and sustainable cities and communities.
Meridiam GIGF's will predominantly make long-term equity and quasi-equity investments. To be able to monitor and manage the investment risks, the fund will seek to acquire minority or majority stakes in companies with a strong corporate governance.
The EIB will ensure that Meridiam GIGF's operational guidelines comply with its social and environmental standards.
Since the Fund is only investing in private companies, it has been assessed that it is not subject to EU rules on public procurement or concessions. However, if after the appraisal, the EIB were to conclude otherwise, the Fund will have to ensure that all contracts for the implementation of the projects financed are in line with EIB's Guide to Procurement.
