As stated by the EIB, the project will be financing district heating and energy efficiency investments through eligible financial intermediaries in Ukraine and in particular through Ukreximbank.
The Ukraine District Hearting Ukreximbank aims at financing projects carried out by local authorities, to allow fast restoration and protection of the heat generation capacity destroyed or out of order for ensuring the supply of critical services for next winters and improving the energy security of Ukraine. The loan will allow the deployment of:
a. small-scale gas-fired combined heat and power plants, solar photovoltaics (PV), complemented by batteries and other storage technologies which are crucial to increase the resilience of Ukraine energy supply;
b. decentralised heat generation;
c. components that will bolster the physical and cyber security of the infrastructure;
d. heat pumps, heat storage systems and related networks as well as renewable heat generation;
e. energy efficiency in public buildings, which would also be eligible under the facility.
The eligibility for financing aligns with the Ukraine Energy Rescue Plan, an emergency measure designed to address Ukraine's critical energy needs and support the resilience and recovery of its energy infrastructure.
As stated on the bank's website, among other qualities, Joint Stock Company "The State Export-Import Bank of Ukraine":

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF EIB
The EIB Complaints Mechanism is designed to facilitate and handle complaints against the EIB by individuals, organizations or corporations affected by EIB activities. When exercising the right to lodge a complaint against the EIB, any member of the public has access to a two-tier procedure, one internal - the Complaints Mechanism Office - and one external - the European Ombudsman. A complaint can be lodged via a written communication addressed to the Secretary General of the EIB, via email to the dedicated email address: complaints@eib.org, by completing the online complaint form available at the following address: http://www.eib.org/complaints/form via fax or delivered directly to the EIB Complaints Mechanism Division, any EIB local representation office or any EIB staff. For further details, check: http://www.eib.org/attachments/strategies/complaints_mechanism_policy_en.pdf
When dissatisfied with a complaint to the EIB Complaints Mechanism, citizens can then turn towards the European Ombudsman. A memorandum of Understanding has been signed between the EIB and the European Ombudsman establishes that citizens (even outside of the EU if the Ombudsman finds their complaint justified) can turn towards the Ombudsman on issues related to 'maladministration' by the EIB. Note that before going to the Ombudsman, an attempt must be made to resolve the case by contacting the EIB. In addition, the complaint must be made within two years of the date when the facts on which your complaint is based became known to you. You can write to the Ombudsman in any of the languages of the European Union. Additional details, including filing requirements and complaint forms, are available at: http://www.ombudsman.europa.eu/atyourservice/interactiveguide.faces
