Fast track for PolSEFF applications
Already after two working days an entrepreneur will receive a decision on granting project co-financing in the Polish Sustainable Energy Financing Programme (PolSEFF). All he needs to do is to fill-in the simplified form. The programme is being carried out by Bank Millennium and Millennium Leasing together with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
Businessmen applying for the programme on the fast track will now fill-in simplified applications, with the decision on granting co-financing being taken within 2 working days. Companies, which carry out projects covered by the programme may get 10% or 15% co-financing in the form of an investment premium. The fast processing track applies to building machines - excavators, loaders and excavator-loaders, as well as farm tractors, combine harvesters and forklift trucks. Bank Millennium and Millennium Leasing offer two attractive products in the PolSEFF programme - Eko-Energia loan and Eko-Energia leasing. The programme's innovation is the possibility to refinance energy-efficient projects with Eko-Energia leasing, having been completed by the Lessee up to 90 days earlier.
Additionally the LEME list has been expanded (list of devices, which does not require the energy efficiency analysis procedure) to include injection moulders and plate compactors. The very purchase of a LEME-listed device is eligible for a 10% investment premium under PolSEFF financing. Already this month it is planned to expand the list to include printing machines, machining centres, milling machines and lathes. Manufacturers of machines with low energy consumption can independently apply for LEME listing of their products to PolSEFF.
