The EEP is a grant offering program to promote the use of renewable energy, energy efficiency and clean technologies, financed by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland and the Nordic Development Fund (NDF).

The EEP contribution is principally aimed to supplement applicants’ own funding as a non-reimbursable grant. Project Developer’s co-funding contribution is therefore a key requirement for eligibility for EEP funding and the amount will affect positively on the selection of the project proposals. The EEP contribution to the project could be a maximum of EUR 200,000 depending on the type of the project.

Projects include partners from both Mekong Partner Countries and the donor community. (Donor community include: Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Iceland). In addition, having a commercial partner with track record in relevant business activities is encouraged. The minimum number of partners is two (lead partner and at least another partner).
