Energy
FMO finances long-term projects which power economies, promote the transition to a low-carbon system and safeguard energy security.
Power shortages are one of the biggest barriers to development. FMO finances energy projects that not only power economies but also promote the transition to a low-carbon system.
Access to Energy Fund
The Access to Energy Fund is jointly initiated by the Dutch government and FMO in 2007 to support private sector projects aimed at providing long-term access to energy services in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The fund can either directly invest in or lend to a project or motivate a wider range of investor interest. The funding possibilities include:
- Minority shares in equity investments
- Loans of up to € 7 million – in euros, US$ or local currencies
- Early stage equity to contribute to the high-risk, early stage project development phase
Infrastructure Development Fund

These basic services often lead to direct and immediate improvements in people’s quality of life. Infrastructure is also a means to fulfill wider objectives such as growth, employment, empowerment and poverty reduction.
IDF financing is available for:
- Long-term financing for large infrastructure projects
- Loans of up to €10 million – in euros, US$ or local currencies
