Clean Growth Direct Lending Facility

Provides lending to buyers and project sponsors in support of clean growth, renewable energy and climate adaptation projects. Exporters can also access finance to transition to cleaner technologies.

How it works

We have a £2 billion Direct Lending Facility dedicated to financing clean growth projects overseas, which creates opportunities for UK suppliers and provides favourable financing terms for overseas buyers. We can give overseas renewable projects repayment periods of up to 18 years, nearly double the usual 10-year outlook.

In addition, our General Export Facility and Export Development Guarantee can help UK businesses invest in the transition to cleaner technologies without the need of a specific export contract.

Potentially eligible green projects include:

  • Renewable energy
  • Energy efficiency
  • Pollution prevention & control
  • Sustainable management of natural resources
  • Biodiversity conservation
  • Clean transportation
  • Sustainable water and wastewater management
  • Climate change adaptation
  • Eco-efficient or circular economy adapted products
  • Green buildings
