IEEF II Fund
IEEF II is the second closed-end alternative investment fund promoted and managed by FIEE SGR.
In July 2020, FIEE launched its second closed-end alternative investment fund called Italian Energy Efficiency Fund II (IEEF II).
IEEF II’s goal is to play a primary role as an investor in the new energy paradigm by contributing to the development of platforms for the energy transition.
IEEF II’s strategy is in line with FIEE I’s, with a wider focus on energy transition and related innovative infrastructure (energy storage systems, hydrogen, electrification of transport, energy communities, …) and also exposure to renewables and innovative technologies manufactures.
In addition, IEEF II invests in energy services companies as well as manufacturing and assembling companies, in the broader context of the energy transition. In particular the Fund covers:
- energy efficiency (public lighting, co-generation and tri-generation, energy efficiency in industrial facilities and companies, energy service in buildings, innovative HVACR equipment and systems, etc.);
- power generation from renewable sources;
- other innovative infrastructure related to energy transition (energy storage systems, hydrogen, electrification of transport, energy communities, etc.).
IEEF II is establishing itself as a reference investor and partner for the energy transition in Italy and other European countries. In particular, through its portfolio companies, IEEF II is currently active in energy service in residential buildings, in the HVACR sector, in the development of energy storage and energy communities, as well as in power generation from renewable sources.
