The European Investment Bank announced on 19 September that is providing €250 million under the European Fund for Strategic Investments, or the Juncker Plan, to Italy’s national agency ENEA, whose research activities are focused on energy efficiency.

The funding is a part of an investment of €500 million for a facility which will be hosted near Rome. The project will also receive €60 million from EUROfusion, the EU’s programme to produce safe nuclear energy by 2050, as well as from Italy’s Ministry of Education (€40 million), the Ministry of Economic Development (€40 million), and the Lazio Region (€25 million).
