eEnergy (AIM: EAAS), the net zero energy services provider, is pleased to announce that the Group has entered into a new €5 million two-year project funding facility (the "Facility") with Solas Capital to finance LED lighting projects in Ireland.

The Facility is being provided through the Solas Sustainable Energy Fund, which is supported by the European Investment Bank, the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund, and the LIFE-programme of the European Commission.
Paul Kearney, Partner at Solas Capital AG says: "We're delighted to work with eEnergy to enable a financing solution for their portfolio of energy efficient lighting projects in Ireland. This partnership will deliver energy savings both in the public and commercial sectors. We believe that eEnergy's strong track record in delivering EaaS, and in particular their expertise in LED-lighting installations in the education sector, establishes them as a leader in the market."
Harvey Sinclair, CEO of eEnergy, commented: "I am delighted that we have secured this funding with an exciting new partner. Solas' mission to support the move to a carbon neutral society goes hand in hand with our mission to help customers moving towards Net Zero and beyond. The New Facility is a reflection of Solas' confidence in eEnergy's recent performance and also a firm commitment to our continued growth and strategic direction."
