6 Sustainable Energy Finance Why are access to finance and providing access to energy greatly intertwined? Clean energies are affordable with proper financing schemes Many financial institutions have not yet realised these new credit opportunities $37 billion spent each year on low-quality energy solutions represents a largely untapped market opportunity for the private sector. (IFC 2012)

7 FS-UNEP Collaborating Centre Concept Strategic collaboration between the UNEP and the Frankfurt School UNEP s main knowledge hub for sustainable energy and climate finance Research of the highest caliber with an orientation towards practical application Implementing findings and instruments in the field

8 FS-UNEP Collaborating Centre WORKING with financial institutions to develop technical know-how, innovative financing approaches and new forms of entrepreneurial and end-user finance.

9 FS-UNEP Collaborating Centre Projects Climate Finance Innovation Facility (CFIF) Finance for Access to Clean Energy Technologies (FACET) Seed Capital Assistance Facility (SCAF) Indonesia Solar Loan Programme (ISL) National Climate Finance Institutions Support Programme (NCFISP) Microfinance for Ecosystem-Based Adaptation to Climate Change (MEbA)

10 What is Clean Energy?

11 What is Clean Energy?

12 End-User Finance for Access to Clean Energy Technologies (FACET) Background In Asia and the Pacific, over 800 million people have no access to electricity About 1.8 billion people still use wood, dung, crop waste, and other traditional biomass for cooking and heating (Source: ADB, Energy for All Initiative) The majority cannot purchase clean technologies upfront but require alternate financing options.

13 End-User Finance for Access to Clean Energy Technologies (FACET) Objectives Mobilizing financial access to clean energy in Vietnam and Indonesia Initial disbursements of around 10,000 loans per country Overriding target Initiate and scale up domestic bank lending to end-users of small-scale energy technologies in South and South-East Asia

14 The FACET Approach i) Technical Assistance BANK Credit line PU ii) Financial support mechanism Purchase VENDOR Maintenance End-Users

15 The FACET Approach Relevant determinants for country selection Impact and visibility of FACET Favourable framework conditions, i.e. government support, EE/RE laws and action plans (electrification, EE labelling), low/decreasing fossil fuel subsidies, etc. Sound financial sector

16 The FACET Approach Relevant determinants for partner bank selection Client portfolio (i.e. low/medium income population) Geographical area of operations (e.g. rural areas for biogas, sunny area for solar) Experience with or at least knowledge of clean energy technologies Motivation to participate under FACET, top management support

17 The FACET Approach Relevant determinants for technology selection

18 The FACET Approach Financial support mechanisms Partial guarantee scheme - Share credit risk to mobilize funds for development projects Interest rate softening: - Method to buy down interest rates - Needs to be tailored in accordance to each setting - Example: India Solar Loan Programme; PROSOL Tunisia

19 Key benefits Foster market-based solutions Mobilize private and financial sector funding Exploit the potential of decentralized, off-grid grid solutions Establish local structures and procedures using local resources Decrease dependency on donor funding

20 FACET Current Status I. Project preparation II. Project implementation Pre-selection of countries and technologies Desk studies: Short-list of partner countries and appropriate technologies Financial Support Mechanisms: Interest rate softening, partial guarantees Technical Support & Capacity Building Current phase Concept papers: basis for stakeholder consultation Stakeholder consultations: Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines Final goal: Disbursement of 10,000 20,000 microloans for clean energy technologies Design of Individual country programmes: Selection of technologies, local partners, and support mechanisms

21 FACET Current Status Targets 4 or more financial institutions involved 4 or more countries loans distributed Emission reduction by CO2/year Current State Negotiating with 4 FIs 2 countries involved Loan disbursement will commence in 2013
