The Finerpol project is focused on identifying financial instruments and aligned policy interventions that could support the development of a public sector supported £100m low carbon fund for the South West.
Finerpol & Plymouth City Council
The aim of the FINERPOL project is to increase the rate of refurbishment of buildings to improve their energy efficiency, by improving access to investment finance through the promotion of existing policies that support the creation and deployment of suitable financial instruments.
ep group was commissioned to provide advice to the Finerpol project on policy modification and suitable financial instruments that could be used to drive investment into energy efficiency in the UK’s South West.
Alongside this ep group wrote the Ex Ante report that is a requirement of developing a public sector fund. The Ex Ante report provided the market intelligence, rationale and proposed structure for the development of a £100m South West Low Carbon Fund.

The challenge?
Understanding the policy and financial instruments available for the growth of energy efficiency projects in the South West, including writing the Ex Ante report that provides the rationale for the development of a £100m South West Low Carbon fund.
How did we help?
We utilised our expertise and experience to advise Finerpol and the collective public sector bodies on proposed low carbon fund structures and researched and delivered an Ex Ante report detailing the rationale for, and outline the operation of, the proposed £100m fund.
What were the benefits?
Clear development of fund structure and rationale for the development of the proposed fund. Still remains work in progress.
