How it works

Beneficiary Member States will work in close cooperation with the European Investment Bank (EIB), with the European Commission (EC) and the Investment Committee set up for the fund.

Key steps in the financing process

1. Select

Member States select the investments they wish to submit for Modernisation Fund support.

Direct applications by project proponents cannot be sent to the EIB, the Investment Commitee or the EC.

l

2. Submit

Member States submit the proposed investments to the EIB, the Investment Committee and the EC at any time of the year.

U

3. Assess

The EIB confirms if the investment is a priority investment.

For non-priority investments, the EIB conducts a technical and financial due diligence assessment.

R

4. Decide

The EC takes a disbursement decision once an investment is confirmed as priority by the EIB, or recommended for financing by the Investment Committee as non-priority.

Following the IC meetings there will be two disbursement decisions per year, covering investments in all beneficiary Member States.

5. Disburse

The EIB transfers the resources to the beneficiary Member States in accordance with the disbursement decision within 30 days.

6. Monetise and asset management

The EIB acts as the auctioneer for the sale of EU allowances and receives the proceeds of each auction, on behalf of the beneficiary Member States.

Additionally, it manages the proceeds in a single portfolio according to mutually agreed asset management guidelines and fully transfers the revenues to the Member States.

Size of the Modernisation Fund

The Modernisation Fund is funded from

 

  • revenues from the auctioning of 2% of the total allowances for 2021-30 under the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS)
  • additional allowances transferred to the Modernisation Fund by beneficiary Member States – five opted to do so (Croatia, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Romania and Slovakia).
