The EIB will provide a €500mn counter-guarantee loan to BNP Paribas to support manufacturers in the European wind industry, the EIB said today.
- The funds will allow BNP Paribas to set up a portfolio of up to €1bn of banking guarantees for new investment in wind farms in the EU, the EIB added.
- The €1bn facility is expected to spur up to €8bn of private investment.
- The project is part of a €5bn EIB package aimed at supporting the construction of new wind farms in the region.
- The move comes after EIB provided CommerzBank and Spain’s Banco Santander with the same €500mn loan.
