This project aimed to promote investments by the private sector (SME in particular) in measures to reduce resource consumption in general, and particiularly in energy efficiency measures. The CGC and KfW collaborated on the definition and implementation of this project by mobilizing a subsidized rate of credit line (for KfW) and a network of Moroccan commercial banks acting as financial intermediaries (for the CCG).
MACS was tasked with the operationalization of the project by, among other things, verifying the potential number of clients and investment volumes, developing a financing sketch that will enable SMEs to improve the efficiency of their resource consumption (including energy) and finally the structuring of the credit facility that KfW will have to set up for the CCG's 'Green Invest' product through the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF).
Based on his career as financial consultant and development banker, Thomas thought consulting and management services in the utility sectors should integrate economists and engineers as well as social scientists in a core team of permanent international staff for sustainable solutions. Thus MACS was born.
His experience in micro- and macro-economic policy analysis as well as detailed sector assessments in the fields of Finance, Water and Energy makes Thomas an expert in developing comprehensive finance strategies for network utilities including building the institutional and policy framework around it.
As one of the Partners and Managing Directors of MACS he is responsible for strategic development and controlling.
