You can find the complete report at annualreport.nib.int/2016 MISSION FULFILMENT MISSION FULFILMENT NIB’s mission is to finance projects that improve competitiveness and the environment of the Nordic and Baltic countries. All projects considered eligible for financing are analysed for their potential socioeconomic and environmental impact. This is to ensure conformity with NIB’s mission and sound banking principles. In 2016, NIB signed 58 new loan agreements. Loans achieving a “good” or “excellent” mandate rating accounted for 96% of the total amount of lending, excluding investments in green bonds. The majority of environmental loans related to projects supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy in NIB’s member countries. This includes projects promoting climate change mitigation and renewable energy. Competitiveness-based loans mainly supported investments in municipal infrastructure, such as public transport and wastewater treatment projects as well as investments in research and development.

NIB’s environmental analysts and loan officers work in close cooperation to identify and assess eligible projects. When assessing the environmental impacts of loan projects the analyses focus on: improvements in resource efficiency development of a competitive low carbon economy protection of the environment and its ecosystem services development of clean technology In 2016, long-term loans for projects with a “good” or “excellent” environmental mandate rating amounted to an all-time high of EUR 1,567 million, or 37% of all agreed loans. Many of these environmental loans support the transition to a low-carbon economy by financing renewable energy projects, public transportation systems and green buildings. Public transport projects with climate change mitigation effects received a total of EUR 390 million in loans from NIB in 2016. Loans for biomass-fired power plants and hydropower investments in Sweden, Finland and Norway amounted to EUR 378 million. Loans to green buildings accounted for EUR 229 million. Examples of NIB’s environmental loans in 2016 NIB agreed a loan to finance the design, construction, operation and maintenance of the biomass combined heat and power (CHP) plant in Värtan, Stockholm. The biofuel-fired CHP plant was inaugurated in May 2016, and is an important step in developing a sustainable energy supply for Stockholm. The plan is for district heating in the city to be entirely produced from renewable or recovered energy by 2030. In Northern Norway, NIB signed a loan agreement with Helgeland Kraft for financing six hydropower plants with an estimated total generation capacity of 166 GWh annually. This amounts to about 16% of Helgeland Kraft’s total production. In order to increase the proportion of renewable fuels in its energy production, Helsinki’s energy utility Helen signed a loan with NIB to finance the construction of a new wood pellet district heating plant for peak load production in Salmisaari. The plant will replace an already demolished heavy oil fuel plant. The new wood pellet plant will have a fuel capacity of 100 MW and an estimated district heat output of 92 MW, or 230–280 GWh annually, enough to heat about 25,000 two-room apartments. The Salmisaari plant will become the largest of its kind in Finland.
