As a small organisation, there are limits to our ability to consider individual smaller-scale projects. That’s why we have created our asset finance programs with major banks, specialised lenders and funds.
These programs allow us to tap into the large and established customer networks of the co-financiers.
They also mean that borrowers have a more simplified process to access our finance, through a range of established co-financiers.
We have structured these programs so that the benefits of the CEFC finance flows directly through to the borrower.
Eligible projects range from small-scale rooftop solar and battery storage, to energy efficient manufacturing and farm equipment, as well as improved building insulation, heating and cooling, demand management systems and low emissions vehicles.
Projects range from $10,000 to $5 million, with an average investment of some $100,000.
Please contact one of our co-financiers directly.

Each investment opportunity is considered on a case by case basis by the co-financier.
Investments rage from $10,000 to $5 million, with an average investment of some $100,000.

We can finance in early-stage clean energy companies working in renewable energy, energy efficiency and/or low emissions technologies.
We do this via the Clean Energy Innovation Fund, the largest dedicated Australian investor of its kind.
The Innovation Fund draws on CEFC finance and focuses on technologies and businesses that have passed beyond the research and development stage.
This includes companies that can benefit from early stage seed or growth capital to help them progress to the next stage of their development.
We consider each investment opportunity on a case by case basis.
Investments via the Innovation Fund are mainly in the form of equity, reflecting the particular nature of start-up and emerging companies. We can also provide debt finance.
We don’t have a preferred size of investment. Each investment opportunity is considered on a case by case basis.
Investments via the Innovation Fund are generally of a smaller scale, reflecting the particular nature of start-up and emerging companies.

All our investments are made with the expectation of a positive risk-based financial return. Therefore, concessionality is applied sparingly.
