Clever Servizi Energetici secures €83 million in financing – coordinated by UniCredit – to support its growth plan and energy transition

Luxembourg/Turin, 23 December 2025 – Clever Servizi Energetici S.p.A. (“Clever”), a leading Italian operator in energy efficiency services, with over 4,000 apartment buildings under management, has signed a financing agreement for a total amount of €83 million. The funds will be used to finance investments in energy efficiency projects, support external growth operations and support working capital management.

The transaction, structured as a medium/long-term loan, was organised by UniCredit S.p.A. as Sole Global Coordinator, Mandated Lead Arranger, Agent and SACE Agent, together with Cassa Depositi e Prestiti S.p.A. and Mediocredito Centrale – Banca del Mezzogiorno S.p.A. as Mandated Lead Arrangers and lenders; part of the financing package benefits from SACE guarantees.

“This financing represents a key opportunity for Clever to accelerate its concrete contribution to the energy transition of Italian real estate, particularly apartment buildings,” said Federico Augusti, CEO of Clever Servizi Energetici. “The financing will enable us to support investments in line with the objectives of the European Green Deal, promoting the reduction of energy consumption and emissions and, through structured energy efficiency projects, increasing the value of our customers’ real estate assets, improving their resilience over time, the quality of the assets and their attractiveness on the market.”

Matteo Rea, CFO of Clever Servizi Energetici, added: “The transaction demonstrates Clever’s strength and the banking system’s confidence in our business model. The structure of the financing, which provides for the refinancing of existing debt, committed and accordion lines dedicated to supporting investments and acquisitions, as well as a revolving line for the efficient management of liquidity for working capital, allows us to accompany the development of the industrial plan in a balanced and flexible manner”.
