Discover the programme
The Public Sector Loan Facility is a blending instrument under the Just Transition Mechanism that helps regions to alleviate the social and economic effects of the green transition to reach the EU’s climate target objectives. It supports regions, sectors and communities heavily dependent on carbon-intensive industries and funds projects addressing social, economic, and environmental challenges arising from the transition.
The Facility mobilises additional investments in close cooperation with the European Investment Bank (EIB). EIB loans of €6 to 8 billion and EU grants of up to €1.3 billion are combined to support projects from public sector entities and from private sector entities with a public service mission in the most affected regions. The grant component of the Facility is managed by the Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy and implemented by CINEA.
