Perfesco and Demeter, through the Climate Infrastructure Fund, join forces to accelerate the development of energy efficiency solutions for industrial clients
Paris, 8 November 2022 – The Climate Infrastructure Fund (article 9 SFDR), managed by Demeter, has closed its first investment by taking a majority stake in the capital of Perfesco Lighting 2, a project company subsidiary of Perfesco, carrying 8 energy efficiency contracts concluded with first rank industrial clients.
Perfesco, a subsidiary of the EDF Group, assists its customers in their energy renovation by delivering turnkey projects that are entirely financed by the gains from energy savings and related maintenance savings..
The Perfesco solution is an innovative initiative for decarbonisation and energy sobriety, contributing to a reduction in the electricity consumption of sites, regularly exceeding 7%. Perfesco assists manufacturers in reducing their energy consumption, and consequently their carbon footprint, thus contributing to the respect of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) commitments. By avoiding the need for clients to use their balance sheet, Perfesco, as a third-party investor, enables them to avoid the ‘climate vs. competitiveness’ dilemma when allocating financial resources.
