Guarantee Fund

One of the political priorities of the region Centre in France for the years 2010-2014 was to make out of the region the ‘eco-region for all’. After adoption of the Agenda 21, the region started to define its long- term vision and developed a Territorial Climate Plan with an objective to reduce the greenhouse gases emissions on the territory by 40% by 2020. To enable the Climate Plan implementation, the region set up an ‘Investment Fund for Green Economy’ and the ‘Regional Guarantee Fund’ supporting sustainable energy projects in local authorities in enterprises via soft loans and guarantees. It also supports home owners of individual houses and condominiums via soft loans, zero-interest loans and grants.
