Experiences &
Learning Points
Investment is not being constrained by lack of projects or lack of
funding per se
Lots of good viable projects out there
Some Gaps
Early Stage Development Funding / Proof of Concept
Requirement for late stage TA Funding to achieve Conditions Precedent
Developer Capacity Gap
Investor Awareness Gap
Importance of Regulation (correlation to pipeline activity & success)
Market Differentiation at regional and country levels
Difficulty of implementing global activities
connecting clean energy businesses with financing
Experiences &
Learning Points (2)
Possibility of sustainability in the more mature markets
Structural Constraints
Bottom - Up vs. Top - Down
Shortage of qualified & experienced personnel who combine
technology, commercial and financing skills
Technology Availability is not a barrier
Technology fear at the institutional / regulatory level
Investors are not looking for successful business models built
around technology (not technologies)
Innate conservatism of investors faced with innovative models
combined with (relatively) new technologies
Potential for Leap-Frog Models (eg Barefoot Power)
connecting clean energy businesses with financing
Summary
Need for a market facilitator, especially in the least developed and
less sophisticated markets
CTI PFAN is a succesful model. Good Success Rates
Getting More Projects to Financial Close & facilitating Interaction
between Developers & Investors
Reducing Transaction Costs - Accelerating the rate of investment.
High levels of Donor Leverage
> 1:100
Challenge is moving to scale while retaining impact and
sustainability levels, especially within the bottom-up approach.
