First leasing company joins EBRD’s resource efficiency programme for Turkish SMEs

Aklease has become the first Turkish leasing company to join the EBRD’s renewed Turkey Sustainable Energy Financing Facility (TurSEFF), which is designed to enhance the resource efficiency of local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and support the use of renewable energy sources.

The €25 million loan will boost leasing as a tool to address the financial needs of local enterprises. It will fund leases of equipment for energy and water efficiency, waste minimisation and small-scale renewable energy investments, among others.

The loan is part of a US$110 million financing package organised by the Netherlands Development Finance Company (FMO). Other financing parties include the Green for Growth Fund (GGF) and the OPEC Fund for International Development (OFID).

Aklease is one of the leading leasing companies in the field of renewable energy as well as being one of the largest in Turkey. It provides leasing solutions across sectors and finances machinery and equipment.
