Implementation of the Armenian Sustainable Energy Finance Facility (ArmSEFF)

ArmSEFF is a finance facility provided by EBRD to local participating banks in Armenia, which will then on-lend the funds for energy efficiency and

small-scale renewable energy investment projects and that local engineers have the technical expertise to identify and prepare technically feasible
and bankable projects.
