Our member Eau du Ponant SPL (Brest, France) has secured financial support from the European Investment Bank (EIB)—the first time a ‘Société publique locale’ (a specific legal category of publicly-owned company in France) has received EIB funding.
This investment will strengthen public water and sanitation infrastructure in Brest Métropole and Pays de Landerneau-Daoulas. Under this agreement, Eau du Ponant will mobilise €210 million, with €80 million in financing from the EIB over five years, to:
- Upgrade drinking water production and distribution facilities
- Improve wastewater collection and treatment systems
- Ensure compliance with environmental and regulatory standards
Congratulations to Eau du Ponant on this achievement!
