In addition, AIJ included a combination of a small-scale cogeneration (CHP) project and a demand-side management (DSM) project at the Technical University of Budapest. These projects were developed by the Dutch utility Westland and the Budapest gas utility Fogaz and implemented by a joint venture of both companies. Local governments themselves financed the AIJ demonstration, either from their own resources or by attracting external funds. These external funds were commercial loans, soft-loan arrangements (e.g. the German Coal Aid Revolving Fund) and third-party financing.
