About Eksfin

How Eksfin helps Norway’s renewable energy industry

Eksfin’s financing solutions are available to exporters, project developers, EPC suppliers, Norwegian power companies, and other buyers in the energy industry.

Eksfin offers long-term financing to buyers of Norwegian capital goods and services in all parts of the renewable energy sector. This can be in form of contracts with a well-established foreign buyer, or partial deliveries to a project.
Bank guarantee may be issued in relation with export contracts. In example, tender guarantee or advance payment guarantee, when export of capital goods and services.
In addition, Eksfin can assist Norwegian exporters who are in need of production loans or loans for investing in fixed assets in Norway by offering risk relief to the exporter’s bank in connection with the loan.

Risk relief for loans for investments in Norway is also available to subcontractors to Norwegian exporters who can demonstrate substantial indirect export revenues. Furthermore, Eksfin manages a separate Norwegian scheme for risk relief in connection with the conclusion of long-term power agreements in Norway.
