Scaling adoption of energy efficiency technologies
Project FEET: Pilot fund for energy efficiency technologies
Objective
Develop and launch a first-of-a-kind pay-as-you-save fund for energy efficiency technologies (EETs)
Project scope
• Catalyse private capital from a pool of investors having different risk appetites
• Invest in a diverse set of EET retrofit projects
• Demonstrate viability of pay-as-you-save by pegging part of returns to quantified and verified fuel savings
• Showcase scalability of such a fund
Highlights
• Fund for Energy Efficiency Technologies (FEET) provides up to 100% upfront financing for retrofits and introduces a pay-as-you-save repayment mechanism linked directly to verified fuel and regulatory savings
• By offering unsecured leases on retrofits, FEET decouples retrofit financing from vessel mortgages
• Through a blended financing structure and a diversified project portfolio, FEET balances financial risk while keeping financing costs competitive

Press release: World’s first vessel retrofit fund using a pay-as-you-save repayment mechanism closes at USD 35M
