SUSI Energy Efficiency Fund II enters into financing framework agreement with Resalta and provides funding for five projects

SEEF II will provide financing for operational projects as well as projects which are currently under construction. The transaction is structured as a sale of receivables with an initial consideration of EUR 1.4 million. Resalta remains owner of the energy efficiency project contracts and retains operation and maintenance responsibilities vis-à-vis its clients. The energy efficiency portfolio includes lighting, heating, ultrafiltration, and complete energy retrofit solutions implemented for public and commercial clients in Slovenia. The measures will allow for annual energy savings of 1.5 GWh and reduce CO2 emissions by 800 tons each year.

Following the successful deployment of the first SUSI Energy Efficiency Fund, SUSI Partners launched a second fund, SEEF II, with a target volume of EUR 300 million. SUSI Partners will continue to support Resalta’s work through SEEF II with a total financing volume under the new framework of up to EUR 20 million. The companies are entering their third year of partnership on energy efficiency, sharing a common belief in the importance of EE measures for achieving the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement targets and preserving the environment.

Luka Komazec, CEO of Resalta, stated: “We are very pleased with our continued collaboration with SUSI Partners, and that they have chosen once again to invest in Resalta. Gaining access to financing is crucial for the development of energy efficiency and renewables, and this transaction will enable us to move forward with our growth strategy both with regards to new projects and markets. Being recognized as a reliable partner and a good investment by SEEF II is proof of the quality of the work that Resalta does. I have no doubt that we will be able to continue our excellent relationship in the future."
