Energy and Climate

We finance companies and projects that accelerate the energy transition.

30-year track record in energy and climate

Having begun funding pioneers in wind energy in the early 1980s, we have built up unmatched experience across the renewables sector. We understand what drives projects that enable the energy transition. With more than 70 project deals Triodos is the largest lender globally in 2018 in terms of deal numbers, according to Clean Energy Pipeline.

You can choose from a wide range of financial instruments

Our financial instruments are tailored to your long-term needs and based on your business model and the stage of development of your organisation. They range from equity and mezzanine finance to (senior) debt.

You work with a mission-aligned partner

Through cooperation with similar mission-oriented entrepreneurs and developers, we directly invest in projects that work for positive environmental change. A long-lasting relationship allows the entrepreneurs to focus on developing projects, which over time leads to more projects that contribute to the wider goal of the energy transition.

Focusing on project finance in the fields of energy saving and efficiency, production of renewable energy, and infrastructure (grid, off-grid, systems, smart grid, and storage), we offer tailored finance instruments.

Financing a broad array of projects, we focus on three important aspects of the energy transition. Check below if your project fits one the three categories.
