OGEF has a variety of mechanisms to develop the local distributed renewable energy sector. OGEF's tools fall into two categories: investments and grants.

INVESTMENT

OGEF finances projects where at least half of the electricity production resulting from its investment is from renewable sources.

OGEF has the flexibility to support companies according to their profile and needs, with the goal of fostering the emergence of a local ecosystem of sustainable companies capable of rapidly increasing access to renewable electricity throughout the country.


We also encourage start-ups to contact us. Projects from start-up companies will be received and studied.
