The financing provided by GGF resulted in annual energy savings of 2.75 million MWh and an annual CO2 emissions reduction of 692,183 metric tons. Since the foundation of the fund, more than 30,000 financings have been granted.
In addition, OeEB provides funds for GGF's Technical Assistance Facility, which reinforces its developmental impact. It finances, for example, energy efficiency training for local banking partners or measures to comply with international environmental and social standards.
