Environmental Upgrade Finance
Environmental Upgrade Finance (EUF) lets you as building owners fund building upgrades. With a EUF you can apply for a loan to upgrade a building and the repayments are administered by Council.
With a EUF you can finance water and energy efficiency projects and install renewable energy systems such as solar.
- Only non-residential Brimbank properties can apply for EUF.
- They're between you (the property owner), Council, and a participating bank.
- They're paid back through your property rates providing further security for the lenders, allowing them to offer very competitive terms.
EUFs offer 100% project finance, competitive interest rates and long term finance, compared to other financial options. They let you:
- Protect yourself from rising energy prices;
- Replace old and inefficient equipment with newer more efficient technologies;
- Free up cash flow by locking in competitive long-term rates.
EUFs are supported by the Sustainable Melbourne Fund.
