Under the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), Sustainable Sàrl (SUSI) and Pöyry Switzerland will identify, implement and finance operational and energy efficiency projects across Europe. According to a statement, SUSI will structure and finance the projects as the sole financier through the SUSI Energy Efficiency Fund. The total project volume will be up to EUR 50 million (CHF 55 million) by the end of 2017.
“SUSI has significant structuring expertise across Europe with the necessary financial means to act as a strong and flexible partner for Pöyry and its clients. The cooperation with Pöyry is a great example for our commitment to sustainability through delivering outstanding operational and energy efficiency solutions,” said Alexander Rothlin, director for the Nordics at SUSI Energy Efficiency AG, which manages the fund together with SUSI.
The energy efficiency projects will be located in the core EU member states, and the two companies have already started initial discussions with a number of companies in Finland, where Pöyry is headquartered. Such projects could help SUSI strengthen its ties to the Finnish market, explains SUSI.
“Pöyry is very excited about this joining of forces with SUSI to offer a one-stop shop approach to the energy efficiency challenges of our clients,” said Richard Pinnock, executive vice president at Pöyry.
