Romanian entrepreneurs can access over EUR 2 billion worth of non-repayable funds this autumn in the form of European funds and state aid designed for supporting both the agri-food sector, production or digitalisation, as well as for transport, logistics, energy generation and EV charging stations, according to an analysis carried out by REI Grup.
Four funding schemes, with total allocations exceeding EUR 1 billion, are available for Romanian carriers in the coming period. The funds can be used for fleet replacement, energy production, batteries for energy storage or charging stations for their own electric vehicles but also for the public, according to Agerpres.
According to the REI Grup's analysis, four state aid schemes are available on the one hand to support investments in the purchase of zero-emission vehicles for road or freight transport, maritime and inland waterways, one aimed at replacing equipment that does not perform well in terms of energy consumption and another one for the promotion of infrastructure for zero-emission mobility - in support of companies and communities (e-MOVE RO) as well as the development of the recharging infrastructure on motorways, expressways and national roads (e-Mobility RO), the total allocation of the four programmes being over EUR 1 billion.
"Entrepreneurs operating in the logistics or transport sector have, this autumn, four funding programmes ideal for boosting investments in their sector, especially in terms of replacing existing fleets and obsolete car fleets with electric models. It is one of the most important allocations so far for this sector, and the interest of entrepreneurs is very high, especially because it aims to streamline business, integrating the purchase of electric vehicles with the installation of photovoltaic panels, batteries and its own recharging stations, which in the medium and long term could bring considerable savings per each kilometre driven over," according to Roxana Mircea, managing partner REI, a group of companies specialising in drawing non-repayable funds for companies operating locally.
Also, there are over EUR 800 million in grants for investing in several key sectors of the economy for micro-enterprises, SMEs, and also large enterprises.
REI Finance Advisors SRL, REI International Consulting SRL and Touched Marketing SRL, part of REI Group, are companies specialising in the development, implementation and monitoring of investment projects both on non-repayable European funds (Regional Operational Programme, Large Infrastructure Operational Programme, PNDR) and state aid schemes.
