Renewable energy

Eksfin can offer favourable financing packages with both long-term financing and risk-relief guarantees in connection with renewable energy projects. Fixed interest rate options and long maturities make export financing an attractive element in financing solutions for renewable energy projects. In financing power projects, for each case Eksfin assesses the overall Norwegian content of the project or delivery and what Eksfin’s financing basis in the transaction will be. Eksfin can often include deliveries beyond the purely Norwegian content and do not set requirements for entering into contracts directly with Norwegian suppliers.
Alternative energy solutions

Eksfin can offer favourable financing packages with both long-term financing and risk-relief guarantees in connection with all projects related to alternative energy solutions. These can include CO2 capture and sequestering, hydrogen, ammonia, etc. Fixed interest rate options and long maturities make export financing an attractive element in financing solutions for renewable energy projects.
Power agreements in Norway

Industrial companies with high electricity demands may need to enter into long-term power contracts in order to get a more predictable price. Eksfin can offer guarantees to help reduce the buyer’s and power seller’s risk related to the conclusion of a long-term contract. This risk relief is only available to industrial companies registered in Norway who operate in wood processing, metals, and chemical products and who wish to enter into agreements with Norwegian power companies.
