The European Commission has adopted the Clean Energy Investment Strategy, with the aim of strengthening the financial framework for the energy transition and mobilising more private capital toward the clean energy sectors. The initiative addresses a particularly high investment need, estimated at €660 billion per year through 2030, and aims to support a more secure, competitive, and decarbonized energy system.
The strategy calls for the use of public resources as leverage to reduce risks, lower financing costs, and attract a broader range of investors. In this context, the EIB Group intends to mobilize over €75 billion over the next three years. Key measures include improving access to capital for electricity network operators, supporting bank lending to smaller operators, backing innovative energy technologies and energy efficiency, and establishing the Energy Transition Investment Council to strengthen dialogue between public institutions and investors.
