| Contents | The Energy Access Support Mechanism (EFSA) aims to provide emergency liquidity through subordinated, non-guaranteeed and low-cost capital to small and medium-sized energy companies outside the network, protecting clean energy supply chains from the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. By preventing failures and ensuring operational continuity, the project ensures continuous access for vulnerable populations to sustainable electricity and kitchen solutions. This intervention supports the energy transition and prevents the retrograde use of fossil fuels, with the goal of mitigating 1.3 million tons of equivalent carbon dioxide emissions. |
