EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report provides a new look at the 2014 report by Oil Change International
and the Sierra Club titled Failing to Solve Energy Poverty: How Much
International Public Investment is Going to Distributed Clean Energy Access?
As noted in the 2014 report, energy poverty remains a major global issue, as
approximately 1 .1 billion people still lack access to electricity worldwide .
Centralized power plants and expanding the grid remain
the default approach in addressing energy poverty.
However, the grid has not yet reached many rural areas,
remains unreliable in many areas it has reached, and
often is unaffordable for poor households, even those
in close proximity to the grid. Of the world’s population
that lacks access to electricity, 84 percent are located
in rural areas, where it is often very costly to extend
existing grids. Therefore, if the goal of universal energy
access is to be reached by 2030, the world must consider
other electrification options that are both affordable and
capable of being widely distributed .
Distributed clean energy solutions, including off-grid
renewable energy and mini-grids, meet these criteria
and must constitute a major component of the world’s
approach to expanding energy access. In its Energy for
All Case, the International Energy Agency (IEA) finds
that in order to achieve energy access for all by 2030,
new investments will need to be balanced among grid
extension, mini-grids, and off-grid energy (receiving 36
percent, 40 percent, and 24 percent of total additional
investment, respectively). This IEA scenario indicates that
the lion’s share of additional investment in energy access,
or 64 percent, would go to distributed solutions.
Using that lens, this report assesses how four multilateral
development banks (MDBs) — World Bank Group, Inter-
American Development Bank, African Development Bank,
and Asian Development Bank — are measuring up in their
efforts to address the global energy access challenge. The
report uses the same methodology that was used in 2014
for grading the portfolios of the four MDBs, and evaluates
their performance by looking across fiscal years 2012,
2013, and 2014 for each institution. The funding breakdown
from the IEA Energy for All Case, which achieves universal
energy access by 2030, is used as the key benchmark
for multilateral development bank spending on energy
access. As institutions dedicated to eliminating poverty,
MDBs must prioritize the elimination of energy poverty
and ensure that their approaches are aligned with best
practices for doing so.
KEY FINDINGS FROM THIS UPDATED VERSION OF
THE REPORT INCLUDE:
• All of the banks again received a failing grade of
“F” when evaluated against the five energy access
criteria, as they did in the previous version of this
report released in 2014. This is a disappointing
outcome given the increased awareness of the
importance of universal energy access spurred by,
among other things, the Sustainable Energy for All
initiative.
• For some institutions, energy access investment
actually declined year on year.
• Absolute investments in energy access and
distributed renewable energy increased slightly
since the previous report was published. Across
most criteria, performance remained relatively
stagnant amongst the banks, with major declines in
some areas and modest improvements in others.
• The African Development Bank was the only bank
to increase its score relative to the previous version
of the report. The reason for the increase was the
announcement of the New Deal on Energy for Africa,
which was counted as a program dedicated (in part)
to distributed renewables. The African Development
Bank’s scores in the other areas evaluated declined
substantially.
• Out of the four banks examined, the Asian
Development Bank and the African Development
Bank had the highest proportion of their energy
portfolios dedicated to access, but they still remain
far below the benchmarks in this area.
• Within their energy access portfolios, out of the four
banks examined, the Inter-American Development
Bank and the World Bank Group devoted the highest
proportion to distributed renewable energy, but
they still remain far below the benchmarks in this
area.
• No MDB has come close to aligning investment with
the IEA Energy for All Case.

• Fossil fuel projects financed by the MDBs are not
serving the poor. As was found in the previous
report, project documents show that fossil fuel-
based projects analyzed across the four MDB energy
portfolios rarely addressed energy access for the
poor in any meaningful way. Just five percent of
fossil fuel funding was clearly linked to energy access
objectives.
IN RESPONSE TO THESE FINDINGS, FOUR KEY
RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDE:
• All of the banks should increase their level of
funding for energy access projects to account
for at least 50 percent of overall energy portfolio
financing, until the regions in which they are
operating have achieved 100 percent energy access.
• All of the banks need to significantly increase their
funding for off-grid and mini-grid clean energy
projects with the aim of coming closer to allocating
64 percent of energy access financing to distributed
clean energy sources highlighted in this report.
• The MDBs should work together to immediately
establish clear definitions and criteria for what
counts as “energy access,” and measure projects to
determine whether they have achieved energy access
for the poor.
• In line with the preceding recommendation, the
MDBs should commit to clearly and transparently
reporting on energy access at the project level.
Currently, project descriptions and documents can
be vague with regard to expected energy access
outcomes, using inconsistent metrics and indicators,
making it difficult and, in some cases, impossible, for
observers to establish a clear picture of MDB energy
access activities and funding levels.
THE POOR NEED ACCESS TO ENERGY, AND DISTRIBUTED CLEAN ENERGY IS KEY
Worldwide, 1.1 billion people lack access to electricity.1
Because lack of energy access limits potential for social
and economic development, various international
development institutions have made supporting universal
energy access a priority. For example, the United Nations
General Assembly declared 2014 to 2024 the “Decade of
Sustainable Energy for All” and launched the Sustainable
Energy for All initiative (SE4All) in 2011.2 The major
multilateral development banks included in this report
have also acknowledged the importance of energy
access, but unfortunately their investment decisions are
not aligned with the approaches needed in order to best
achieve the goal of energy for all. According to SE4All’s
observations of 2010 to 2012, the most recent period
examined in its 2015 Global Tracking Framework report,
electrification is not happening at the rate required in
order to achieve universal energy access by 2030 (the
energy access goal of SE4All).3
While investment is not the only factor contributing to
slow progress in global electrification, there remains
a gap between what is needed for the attainment of
universal energy access by 2030 and what is currently
being invested. Recent estimates from the International
Energy Agency (IEA) on the amount of investment
required in order to achieve universal access to modern
energy services are around $48 billion4 or $49 billion5 per
year. In 2013, only $13.1 billion worldwide was invested
into improving access to electricity and clean cooking
facilities,6 leaving a significant investment gap. However,
the amount of funding required remains a subject of
debate; some have argued that the figure provided by
the IEA is too high, and that universal energy access can
be attained with less funding. Whereas the International
Energy Agency has estimated that $640 billion is needed
over the course of 20 years to achieve universal energy
access,7 a 2014 report from the Sierra Club estimated that
universal energy access could be achieved for only $200
billion.8
Given that the MDBs examined in this report have annual
energy portfolios that collectively exceeded $17 billion in
2014, only 11 percent of which was dedicated to access,
financial constraints are clearly not the major limiting
factor on achieving energy access.
Though the debate around investment levels is ongoing,
for purposes of this report the authors are most interested
in how investments are distributed among different
types of solutions. As argued in a 2015 report from the
Overseas Development Institute and Oxfam, the challenge
of addressing energy poverty (in Africa) is less about
ambitiously increasing electricity generation and more
about ambitiously distributing energy services to poor
people.9 They note that “ambitiously scaling up the
distribution even of relatively small amounts of electricity”
is an important way to serve poor people.

According to the IEA’s 2011 World Energy Outlook, the
current approach to energy access — which relies heavily
on centralized grid extension — will still leave one billion
people without energy access in 2030.10 Considering the
grid has not yet reached many rural areas of the world, is
unreliable in many areas it has reached, and often remains
unaffordable to poor homes even in the areas where it
does reach,11 it is important to consider electrification
options that meet the criteria of being affordable and
possible to distribute widely. In many cases, off-grid
and mini-grid solutions meet these criteria and may
even represent the most cost-effective option for rural
electrification.12
Accordingly, instead of a continued emphasis on grid
extension, the 2011 IEA analysis suggests that energy
access investments would need to be weighted more
heavily towards distributed, beyond-the-grid energy
solutions in order for universal energy access to be
attained by 2030. The IEA Energy for All Case, in which
universal energy access is achieved by 2030, suggests:
• about 36 percent of all additional energy access
investment would need to go to grid extension and
centralized power plants;
• about 40 percent would need to go to mini-grids;
• about 24 percent would need to go to off-grid
solutions.
In other words, 64 percent of additional funding for energy
access projects should be accounted for by off-grid and
mini-grid solutions. Figure 1, from the IEA’s 2011 World
Energy Outlook, shows the distribution of funding in the
Energy for All Case, broken down into several time periods
from 2010 to 2030.
A concerted effort by just the four MDBs included in
this report could help provide a significant portion of
additional investment by redirecting current energy
financing towards projects that specifically and effectively
achieve access for poor communities.
Finally, there is an important link between climate change
and poverty eradication (for example, negative impacts
from climate change disproportionately affect poor
individuals and threaten to push back poverty gains).
Noting that fossil fuels cause climate change, which
adversely impacts the poor, this report further specifies
distributed energy access as solutions stemming from
clean, renewable energy sources. Projects that exclusively
supported energy solutions such as diesel generator sets
were not counted as distributed renewables.

CRITERIA FOR ASSESSING ENERGY ACCESS
This report reviews energy projects at the African
Development Bank, Asian Development Bank, Inter-
American Development Bank, and World Bank Group13 for
fiscal years 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014. All data except that
from fiscal year 2014 was previously presented in the 2014
version of the scorecard report; it is provided again here for
reference and comparison. This report utilizes data from Oil
Change International’s Shift the Subsidies database, which
tracks energy projects financed by the World Bank Group,
major regional development banks, and a number of export
credit agencies.14 The database includes funding originating
from any given bank’s own capital resources, i.e. what
a particular MDB’s budget is directly supporting. Thus,
funding coming from single– or multi-donor funds, such as
the Sustainable Energy and Climate Change Initiative Multi-
Donor Trust Fund, is not included.
This assessment reviewed energy projects included in the
Shift the Subsidies database, which indicates whether a
project provides or intends to provide energy access for
the poor. See Appendix A for a detailed explanation of how
energy access was determined. The methodology has not
changed since the 2014 version of the report, with the ex-
ception of Criteria 5, for which it is now possible to achieve
a partial score rather than an all-or-nothing score. In ad-
dition to evaluating energy access, the assessment deter-
mined the amount of project funding spent on off-grid and
mini-grid renewable energy per bank, per year. See Appen-
dices B-E for lists of MDB energy access projects included
in the assessment. Lastly, each of the four MDBs received
an overall grade based on the following five criteria:
1. Percentage, measured by dollar amount, of overall
energy portfolio dedicated to energy access (three
year average) (35 points);
2. Percentage of energy access spending dedicated to
off-grid or mini-grid renewable solutions (three year
average) (35 points);
3. The bank has a stated goal for increasing energy
access (5 points);
4. The bank has a program dedicated to distributed
(off-grid and mini-grid) clean energy (15 points);
5. In the period examined, there is an increase in the
absolute amount of funding the bank has dedicated
to off-grid and mini-grid clean energy (10 points);
For criterion 1, a bank’s score reflects the overall
percentage of its energy portfolio that is dedicated to
energy access measured against a target of 50 percent.
For example, if the bank’s energy portfolio is 40 percent
for access, the score equals 28 (or (40/50)*35). Any
energy access percentage that is equal to or higher than
50 percent gets a score of 35 points. The 50 percent
target was chosen to reflect a significant commitment
to delivering energy access. However, this is actually
a moderate target; it is not unreasonable to think that
entire energy portfolios of ‘development’ banks focused
on eradicating poverty could be dedicated to supporting
the nearly 20 percent of the world’s population that
lacks access to electricity. Additionally, given the recent
attention15 that has been afforded to social problems
created by large-scale energy projects,16 it is worth
pointing out that small-scale distributed renewables
are far less likely to cause problems such as involuntary
population resettlement than large-scale, centralized
energy projects.
For criterion 2, a bank’s score is measured against its
fulfillment of the target derived from the IEA’s Energy
for All Case, in which 64 percent of additional financing
for energy access is dedicated to off-grid and mini-grid
solutions. For example, if the Bank’s energy access portfolio
includes 50 percent of funding for off-grid and mini-grid
solutions, the score equals 27 (or (50/64)*35). Any access
portfolio with an off-grid and mini-grid percentage equal to
or higher than 64 percent gets a score of 35.
Criteria 3 and 4 are simple “yes/no” determinations. A
bank receives 5, 10, or 15 points for a “yes” and 0 points
for a “no.” Criterion 5 is assessed in the following way: if
absolute funding for off-grid and mini-grid clean energy
has increased in each year studied, a bank receives 10
points. If absolute funding has increased from the first year
assessed and the final year assessed, but has not increased
each year, the bank receives 5 points. If absolute funding
has remained the same or decreased each year, the bank
receives 0 points. The assessment of Criterion 5 is the
only methodological change from the scoring in the 2014
version of the report. This change was instituted due to
features of the results that were not present in the results
from the previous version of this report, in order to give
partial credit to institutions that had increased funding
to distributed renewables overall, even in the event of a
decline in support over the most recent two years.

KEY FINDINGS AND ENERGY ACCESS SCORECARD
Table 1 below shows how each of the MDBs performed
on each of the five energy access criteria. For each MDB,
the scores from each of the five criteria are combined
for a total score—out of a possible 100 points—for the
institution. Criteria based on portfolio composition — the
percent of the energy portfolio dedicated to energy
access, and the percent of energy access funding
dedicated to distributed renewables — are assessed using
a 3-year average of portfolio figures for each bank. For
this report, that 3-year period is FY 2012 to FY 2014
inclusive. The scorecard developed for the previous
version of this report looked at the 3-year average from
FY 2011 to FY 2013 inclusive. Despite there being only
one year of new data for this analysis, some significant
changes were observed compared to the findings of the
previous report.
This table is followed by several key findings and
observations about the results, as well as graphs
visualizing the data.
KEY FINDINGS INCLUDE:
• All banks failed. All of the banks again received a
failing grade of F when evaluated against the five
energy access criteria, as they did in the previous
version of this report released in 2014. This marks a
disappointing outcome given the increased awareness
of the importance of universal energy access spurred
by, among other things, the Sustainable Energy for All
initiative.
• African Development Bank improved its overall
score. The only bank to increase its score relative to
the previous version of the report was the African
Development Bank. The deciding factor was the
announcement of the New Deal on Energy for Africa,
which was counted as a program dedicated (in part)
to distributed renewables. However, the African
Development Bank maintains the worst record for
the proportion of resources dedicated to off-grid and
mini-grid solutions, which is cause for concern given
the strong potential of these solutions in Sub-Saharan
Africa in particular.
• Little improvement year on year. Absolute
investments in energy access and distributed
renewable energy increased slightly since the
previous report was published. Across most criteria,
performance remained relatively stagnant amongst

the banks, with major declines in some areas and
modest improvements in others.
• For some institutions, energy access investment is
declining. The proportion of banks’ energy portfolios
dedicated to energy access increased only marginally
relative to the previous report, though the African
Development Bank slid backward. Due to corrections
to FY 2012 data used in the previous report, the Asian
Development Bank now leads in this area, with 27
percent of its energy portfolio (by dollar amount)
focusing on energy access in the three year period
from FY 2012 and FY 2014, though the share has
declined from a laudable 47 percent in FY 2012 to
just 8 percent in FY 2014. The African Development
Bank dedicated 26 percent of its energy portfolio to
energy access, a sharp decline from 38 percent over
the previous period (note that these figures — and
some of the figures that follow in this section — differ
from the scorecard points assigned above; the
scorecard uses a formula to assess a total score out
of 100 across all criteria, rather than percentage
values). The share of the World Bank Group’s energy
portfolio dedicated to energy access increased from 7
percent to 10 percent over the same period. The Inter-
American Development Bank’s share increased only
slightly from 5 to just under 6 percent.
• The Asian Development Bank and the African
Development Bank have the highest proportion
of their energy portfolios dedicated to energy
access, which is still far too low. At 27 and 26
percent, respectively, the African Development Bank
and Asian Development Bank remain the leaders
in percentage of their energy portfolios dedicated
to energy access for the poor, while 10 percent or
less of energy financing at the World Bank Group
and at the Inter-American Development Bank was
dedicated to energy access for the poor. However,
the African Development Bank also devotes the
least resources — in both absolute and percentage
terms — to off-grid and mini-grid solutions, making up
just 0.2 percent of the African Development Bank’s
energy access portfolio from FY 2012 to FY 2014.
• No MDB is aligning its investment with the IEA’s
Energy for All Case. The Inter-American Development
Bank and World Bank Group are devoting the highest
proportions of their energy access portfolios to
distributed renewable energy, but are still providing
orders of magnitude below what is required. In FY
2014, the banks’ current approaches to energy access
strayed even further out of alignment with the IEA
scenario of achieving universal energy access by
2030, in which 64 percent of additional energy access
funding flows to distributed energy solutions. The
previous version of this report found that the Inter-
American Development Bank and World Bank Group
were devoting the highest proportion of their energy
access portfolios to distributed renewables energy. This
analysis found this trend to be holding steady. While
the World Bank Group’s investments in distributed
renewables declined as a proportion of its energy
access portfolio from 25 percent to 20 percent, the
dollar amount invested increased (due to a significant
increase in the size of the energy access portfolio).
Even so, the Inter-American Development Bank and
World Bank Group’s percentage of distributed energy
investment as a percentage of energy access projects
still significantly misses the 64 percent target based
on the IEA’s Energy for All Case. Their investment in
distributed renewable energy relative to their overall
energy portfolios is still orders of magnitude below
what is required according to the agency.
• Fossil fuels are not serving the poor. As with
the previous report, the fossil fuel-based projects
analyzed for this report across the four MDB energy
portfolios rarely addressed energy access for the
poor in any meaningful way. Over the three years
from FY 2012 to FY 2014, about five percent of
funding (by volume) for fossil fuel energy projects
included provisions that would increase access for the
poor (or 6 out of 190 fossil fuel projects).

ENERGY ACCESS AT MULTILATERAL DEVELOPMENT BANKS
WORLD BANK GROUPThe World Bank Group increased the proportion of
energy access-oriented projects in its energy portfolio
substantially year over year, growing to nearly 13 percent
of the Bank’s total energy portfolio (see Table 2). This
between FY13 and FY14 was sharp, and was dominated
by two very large electricity transmission and distribution
expansion projects in FY14, one in Bangladesh and one in
Indonesia, totaling $925 million. Given the size of these
grid extension projects, it is perhaps not surprising that
the World Bank Group’s percentage of energy access
projects devoted to distributed renewable energy declined
over the same period. Though absolute dollar amounts
for distributed renewables remained roughly constant
between FY 2013 and FY 2014, the proportion was lower
in both years because the World Bank Group’s overall
energy access portfolio was considerably larger. After
remaining between 30 and 40 percent from FY 2012 to
FY 2013, the proportion of energy access funding focused
on distributed renewables plummeted to just over 10.5
percent in FY 2014.
Notable distributed renewables projects the World
Bank Group did support in FY 2014 were $10,000,000
to the global responsAbility Energy Access Fund aimed

to 1 million homes by 2017; and $25,000,000 to support
the development and expansion of a successful mini-grid
model in Mali. These investments are important for the off-
grid and mini-grid sectors, and demonstrate that with the
relatively small amount of money the World Bank Group
is investing in distributed renewables, it is targeting a mix
of tried-and-true approaches with a proven track record
as well as more innovative, high-potential approaches. For
example, off-grid solar products are already improving
the energy access of 89 million people in Africa and Asia.17
It is notable that the World Bank Group supported these
projects. Greatly scaling up support for these types of
activities would be an important step towards an approach
that best addresses energy poverty.
DATA AVAILABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY
Some issues were observed while undertaking data
collection for this analysis. Many of the biggest challenges
relate to the IFC’s presentation of project information.
The IFC appears to list its projects by “disclosure date”
(when documents are made publicly available) rather
than by “approved” date. Thus, projects approved in
a given calendar year may have been disclosed one,
two, or even more calendar years earlier. To identify all
approved projects necessitates combing through multiple
years of records. In addition, projects disclosed — but not
approved — in previous years can subsequently be updated
to “approved” on the IFC website, thereby necessitating
an ongoing review of old projects, making it possible for
reviewers to overlook newly-approved projects that were
originally disclosed a year or more earlier.
In addition, in the case of the IFC, not all projects with
an energy focus or a partial energy component are
categorized under energy-themed headings. Rather they
may appear under alternative categories such as financial
intermediary, infrastructure, or manufacturing.
INTER-AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT BANKThe Inter-American Development Bank’s overall funding
for energy access fluctuated between 2012 and 2014, with
the highest percentage for access at 11 percent in 2013,
THE WORLD BANK GROUP AND THE ELECTRICITY ACCESS CHALLENGE — WORLD BANK INDEPENDENT EVALUATION GROUP REPORT
In October 2015, the World Bank Group’s
Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) released
a report assessing the World Bank Group’s
performance in addressing the electricity access
challenge between 2000 and 2014.
A number of the IEG report findings echo the
findings of “Failing to Solve Energy Poverty”, the
original version of our analysis released in 2014,
and the findings are in many ways are consistent
with the updated analysis here. The IEG’s findings
include the following points, which underscore
the importance of the World Bank Group quickly
and dramatically changing its approach to energy
access investment if it hopes to deliver on its
objective of contributing to universal energy access
by 2030:
• “The Bank Group’s support for off-grid
electrification was a small part of its overall
portfolio,” consistent with our findings across
FY 2011 to FY 2014.
• “Affordability, equity, and inclusion need to be
addressed by targeting the poor and those in
remote and inaccessible areas,” consistent with
our findings that distributed renewables are an
important but underutilized means for World
Bank Group investments to serve the poorest.
• “Support for off-grid electrification was low
and sporadic, with a few notable exceptions,”
which aligns with our findings.
• “[O]verall, the Bank Group’s commitment
to the SE4All goal to achieve universal
electricity access in 15 years clearly requires
the institution to commit or organize
resources and activities that are several
orders of magnitude greater than it has so far
in low-access countries,” which is consistent
with our finding that the World Bank Group’s
support for energy access-focused projects,
and for distributed energy solutions, are orders
of magnitude too low if the World Bank Group
hopes to meet its universal energy access goal.
STILL FAILING TO SOLVE ENERGY POVERTY: International Public Finance for Distributed Clean Energy Access Gets another “F”12
backsliding to 6.3 percent in 2014 (see Table 3). In terms
of dollar amounts, it had by far the lowest finance for
access across all years, and remained the institution with
the lowest overall percentage of energy access financing
among the multilateral development banks studied.
As with the previous analysis, it is worth noting that a
significant number of access projects at the Inter-American
Development Bank are funded through multi-donor and
other trust funds and therefore were not included in this
review, which only considers how an institution uses
its core capital. The Inter-American Development Bank
devoted a quarter of its energy access funding to off-grid
and mini-grid clean energy, a proportion higher than any
other development bank. However, much of this funding
was not going definitively to distributed energy, but rather
had a distributed energy component with lack of clarity on
the amount of funding. The Latin America and Caribbean
region has a much higher level of energy access than other
developing regions (e.g. Asia and Africa), and the Inter-
American Development Bank may be responding to the
needs of its region. However, it’s important that the use of
public development money for energy activities focus on
energy access until an universal access is achieved. The
Inter-American Development Bank still lacks a specific
goal or program dedicated to increasing energy access
and to off-grid and mini-grid clean energy, something that
hasn’t changed since the predecessor to this analysis was
published in 2014. Such a program could potentially help
focus attention on increasing funding for such projects.
See Appendix C for the list of Inter-American Development
Bank energy access projects from FY 2012 to 2014.
DATA AVAILABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY
Funding volumes provided from IDB capital (rather than
from IDB-administered trust funds or other sources) were
not clear, causing significant issues in data collection. On
the project page for each individual IDB project, the line
“IDB Financing” is often blank, even where IDB capital is
part of the investment. The IDB’s 2014 Annual Report lists
dollar amounts approved for energy sector projects, but
the source of the figures cited is not clear; likewise, it is
unclear as to how much of the financing listed comes from
IDB resources.

AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANKOut of all the multilateral development banks, the African
Development Bank remains the closest to meeting the
recommended 50 percent of total energy portfolio
aimed towards energy access, though this number saw
a worrying decline in FY 2014, dropping from 35 percent
to under 15 percent year over year (see Table 4). The
percentage of AfDB’s total energy portfolio that was
focused on energy access was dramatically lower in
FY14 than in any of FY11, FY12 or FY13; as a percentage
of AfDB’s total energy portfolio, energy access-focused
projects were less than half that of any preceding year in
percentage terms, and also lower in absolute dollar terms
than any of the preceding years.
On the flipside, the AfDB remains by far the lowest
performing institution when it comes to investments in
distributed renewables. In FY 2014, AfDB finally notched
some investments in distributed renewables, after no listed
investments in off-grid and mini-grid solutions from FY 2011
to FY 2013. It is commendable that AfDB made investments
in these solutions, particularly given the energy access
need in many African countries, but these new investments
in FY 2014 were at a very modest level — less than 1 percent
of AfDB’s total energy access portfolio for the year.
Rapidly scaling up AfDB’s support for these solutions will
be crucial in reaching Africa’s rural poor, who represent a
large portion of the 58.2 percent of Africa’s population who
lack access to energy. Grid extension projects continue
to dominate the AfDB’s energy access portfolio, but by
increasing its focus instead on distributed clean energy, the
African Development Bank could better serve populations
that lack access to electricity, particularly in rural areas.
See Appendix D for the list of African Development Bank
energy access projects from FY 2012 to 2014.
The African Development Bank recently unveiled the
New Deal on Energy for Africa, which contains a major
component focused on delivering energy access through
off-grid technologies.

DATA AVAILABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY
The data collection process encountered many
discrepancies between the funding amounts cited in
AfDB’s annual report, individual project pages compared,
AfDB’s news releases, appraisal reports, and AfDB
board minutes, making it difficult to ascertain the actual
approved amount in many cases.
At least one major approved project did not appear to
have a formal project page, while several other projects
had project pages marked with earlier fiscal years despite
listing funding approved for FY 2014, and it was not clear
whether the FY 2014 approvals represented new funding
or more recent tranches of earlier-approved funds.
Several projects have the year for the approval date listed
as “1901” — this would appear to be some form of typo but
it makes it difficult to confirm that a project was indeed
approved in FY 2014.
ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANKNote that the figures tracked internally by the Asian
Development Bank differed substantially from the figures
used in the previous (2014) edition of this report. Based
on input from the Asian Development Bank, this version
of the report incorporates corrected FY 2012 and FY 2013
data, and includes the addition of several projects to the
database, which were determined to be consistent with
the criteria for energy access and distributed renewable
energy as applied in this report’s methodology.
The Asian Development Bank tied for the highest score
amongst the institutions assessed, but still received a
failing grade. Asian Development Bank’s energy access
funding decreased dramatically from FY 2012 to FY 2014
as a proportion of the total energy portfolio (see Table
5). Corrected figures for FY 2012 show that the Asian
Development Bank came very close to devoting 50 percent
of its energy portfolio to energy access, something that
all of these banks should strive to achieve. However, this
TRANSPARENCY AND REPORTING OF ENERGY FINANCE IN THE AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK, INCLUDING FOR THE “NEW DEAL ON ENERGY FOR AFRICA”
Among all of the multilateral development banks
assessed for this study, AfDB data on energy
investments showed some of the least agreement
between sources (for example, AfDB funding listed
on a project page frequently differed from the
amounts in annual reports and other sources). AfDB
reporting makes it difficult to assess what funding
is from AfDB core funds versus donor trust funds
administered by AfDB, while details on the energy
access implications of energy projects were rarely
present in project documents.
Given the significant undertaking the AfDB has
signaled through its large, energy-access focused
“New Deal on Energy for Africa” initiative, it is
important that the AfDB improve its tracking and
reporting of energy access-related projects to allow
for sufficient monitoring of the initiative’s progress.
This information should be made publicly available,
using clear, appropriate, and granular metrics to
describe the anticipated energy access implications
of each project.

leadership did not last: in FY 2014, the percentage of the
Asian Development Bank’s energy portfolio dedicated to
energy access was just one quarter of what it was in FY
2013. Because the Asian Development Bank’s entire energy
portfolio shrunk from FY 2013 to FY 2014, the decline
in dollars dedicated to energy access projects was even
more pronounced. While there was an uptick in funding
for distributed renewables in FY 2013, this funding fell
off a cliff in FY 2014, crashing from 12 percent of access
funding to just 2 percent. This is still an improvement from
the complete absence of funding for distributed renewable
energy projects in FY 2011, but the trend line is moving
in the wrong direction. As the previous version of this
report uncovered, many energy access projects, including
distributed clean energy projects, are funded through
multi-donor funds run by the Asian Development Bank, but
are not from the bank’s core funds, so they are not counted
here. Funding for energy access and off-grid and mini-
grid clean energy is still well below recommended levels
and heading in the wrong direction despite increasing
urgency to meet the challenge of universal energy access.
The Asian Development Bank deserves credit for some
early efforts to highlight energy access investment. The
Bank’s “Energy for All” partnership has a stated goal of
increasing energy access, especially for the poor, and was
established in 2008, long before the Sustainable Energy
for All Initiative came into being. Both within and outside
of this partnership, the Asian Development Bank has made
some important contributions to clean energy access
projects. These include investments in the successful IDCOL
solar home system program in Bangladesh, as well as in
innovative distributed solar enterprise Simpa Networks,
along with efforts to develop an investable pipeline of clean
energy access enterprises, including through the Energy for
All Project Development Facility. While these initiatives and
approaches have been positive, the Asian Development
Bank could benefit from turning greater attention to off-
grid and mini-grid opportunities to increase energy access
in the regions it serves. See Appendix E for the list of Asian
Development Bank energy access projects from FY 2012
to 2014.
DATA AVAILABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY
Most projects — but not all — had supporting project
documents that provided supplemental information
adequate to understand whether projects were supporting
energy access and / or distributed renewable energy. In
general, funding volumes and approval dates listed in
project documents match up well (but not entirely) with
other ADB sources of information such as annual reports
and news releases.
CONCLUSION
Despite an increase in public awareness about the
scale and urgency of the energy access challenge in
recent years, as well as a newly-minted United Nations
Sustainable Development Goal devoted to ensuring
affordable, reliable, and modern energy solutions for all,18
finance for energy access through the MDBs continues

Distributed renewables program(s) or initiative(s)?
YES: The “Energy for All Initiative” was founded to increase the Asian Development Bank’s energy access project portfolio, and seeks to improve household access to electricity.
Technologies for doing so include micro-hydro, solar, biomass, wind power, and clean cooking fuel. The initiative also includes an “Energy for All Partnership,” which brings together actors
from government, the private sector, and civil society to advance the goal of providing modern energy to 100 million people by 2015.
STILL FAILING TO SOLVE ENERGY POVERTY: International Public Finance for Distributed Clean Energy Access Gets another “F”16
to fall far short of what’s needed. When it comes to MDB
investments in distributed clean energy, the picture is
even more alarming. Despite some recent, promising
investments that promote innovative approaches to
delivering clean energy access, investments in off-grid
clean and mini-grid clean energy still make up just a small
percentage of MDBs’ total energy portfolios.
Off-grid and mini-grid clean energy remain promising
solutions to energy poverty that can be rapidly and cost-
effectively deployed in both rural and urban settings. As
this assessment shows, none of the four MDBs received
a passing grade on how their energy portfolios address
energy access for poor communities and distributed clean
energy. How can they do better?
RECOMMENDATIONS
The recommendations from the 2014 report have been
updated. Now, the following should be achieved within the
next two years:
• All of the banks should increase their level of
funding for energy access projects to account
for at least 50 percent of overall energy portfolio
financing, until the regions in which they are
operating have achieved 100 percent energy access.
Across the MDBs, virtually no significant progress
has been made on this recommendation since
the 2014 report, with some institutions actually
backsliding. Development banks have a mandate
to support the world’s lowest-income populations,
but as this analysis demonstrates, energy finance
is still largely not targeted towards or meeting this
goal. These banks must redouble their efforts to
ensure that a significant portion of their funding goes
toward increasing energy access for the poor. The
banks should simultaneously encourage investment
in energy access by other actors, including non-
government investors.
• All of the banks need to significantly increase
their funding for off-grid and mini-grid clean
energy projects with the aim of meeting the IEA’s
64 percent of energy access financing toward
distributed clean energy scenario highlighted in
this report. As with the previous recommendation,
virtually no progress has been made on this
recommendation, with some institutions backsliding
in the most recent years for which data are available.
Investment in the actual deployment and installation
of off-grid and mini-grid clean energy projects
is a critical need at this stage of the market’s
development. While there is an important role for
capacity-building and technical assistance, banks
must focus efforts on increasing deployment of
distributed renewables, while also ensuring that
projects are appropriately managed and provide
maximum benefit to local communities.
• The MDBs should work together to immediately
establish clear definitions and criteria for what
counts as “energy access,” and measure projects
to determine whether they have achieved energy
access for the poor. There is currently a lack
of transparency among the MDBs around what
constitutes “energy access,” despite progress in
the development of the SE4All Global Tracking
Framework. The MDBs should clearly define energy
access, with appropriate criteria for measurement,
with an emphasis on direct energy service benefits
to the lowest-income individuals. The MDBs should
also move away from counting “inferred connections”
as new connections, as this inferred form of
measurement is becoming less acceptable as a metric
of success.19 These definitions and criteria should be
transparent, and project documents should reflect
how the project will work towards increasing energy
access. Completed projects should be assessed as to
whether they have achieved these goals. Ideally, the
MDBs should align their definitions and criteria with
those of peer institutions.
• In line with the preceding recommendation, the
MDBs should commit to clearly and transparently
reporting on energy access at the project level.
Currently, project descriptions and documents can
be vague as to expected energy access outcomes,
using inconsistent metrics and indicators, making it
difficult and, in some cases, impossible, for observers
to establish a clear picture of MDB energy access
activities and funding levels.
In addition to the four main recommendations, the
following are suggested as necessary actions towards
achieving those recommendations:
• Banks should adopt credit enhancement programs,
including loan guarantees, which directly support
off-grid and mini-grid clean energy deployment.
Credit enhancement programs reduce risk for private
sector entrepreneurs delivering services in these
markets. MDBs can stretch their investments much
further, and help unlock private sector investment, by
using their investments wisely. Credit enhancements,
including loan guarantees, are an essential tool to
help increase the size of the off-grid and mini-grid
clean energy sector.
STILL FAILING TO SOLVE ENERGY POVERTY: International Public Finance for Distributed Clean Energy Access Gets another “F”17
• Banks should move beyond pilot projects to
incorporate off-grid and mini-grid lending in
their core energy portfolios. While several of the
banks included some pilot projects for off-grid and
mini-grid clean energy projects, a more significant
integration of these projects into the banks’ energy
access portfolios would allow for actual large-scale
deployment of distributed clean energy beyond the
grid.
• Banks should increase funding for emerging
programs focusing on distributed clean energy
access for all. The Asian Development Bank’s Energy
for All Initiative and the World Bank’s Lighting Global,
Lighting Africa, Lighting Asia, and Green Power for
Mobile programs are promising, as is the African
Development Bank’s recently-announced New Deal
on Energy for Africa. However, these programs
need to be expanded to include more funding for
deployment, and a greater voice in the finance
decisions for the investment coming from the core
portfolio. Actual investment decisions must align with
proclamations of support for energy access, in order
to truly demonstrate substantial support.
• Banks should examine successful off-grid and mini-
grid programs from different country contexts, such
as Bangladesh’s IDCOL program, and incorporate
applicable lessons in a manner suitable to specific
country circumstances. All MDBs should incorporate
lessons from a variety of countries into the dedicated
finance vehicles they develop to catalyze off-grid
and mini-grid markets. Bangladesh’s IDCOL program
is the most successful off-grid program in the world.
The structure and design of this program and others
offer significant learning opportunities for other
MDBs seeking to expand investments in this space.
• Banks should work with client countries to develop
national energy access strategies that include
distributed clean energy solutions. While it is true
that MDBs respond to demands of client countries,
MDBs also must play a role in helping staff in client
countries keep up with developments in the energy
access space and consider policy options which
include off-grid and mini-grid clean energy. This is
in line with the recommendation from the World
Bank Group’s IEG, which suggests a “[m]ove from a
predominantly project-by-project approach—which
lacks the scale and speed to achieve universal access
by 2030 in low-access countries—to a far greater use
of a sector-wide organizing framework and process
for mainstreaming the sustained engagement needed
for implementing rapid access scale-up,” and which
also notes that, ideally, “grid and off-grid rollout
should be undertaken simultaneously in a coordinated
manner nationwide.” Technical advice and planning
support for clients should emphasize clean
energy access opportunities and reflect the latest
understanding of the costs and benefits of different
approaches to delivering energy services.
• Banks should work with clients to create the
enabling conditions for more resources to flow
toward distributed renewable energy solutions. This
means considering how to tailor finance to smaller,
dynamic initiatives designed to deliver clean energy
access, including entrepreneurs looking to scale
up successful approaches. Reducing transaction
times — and transaction costs — for recipients of funds
is an important component of achieving this goal.
This would also include committing resources to
develop investable pipelines of clean energy access
solutions.
• Banks should examine internal incentive structures,
to ensure that distributed clean energy projects are
not systemically discriminated against in favor of
larger projects. In other words, banks should align
staff incentives for advancement more closely with
the unique characteristics of off-grid and mini-grid
deployment rather than simply incentivizing staff to
close large energy infrastructure projects.
• Banks should benchmark and review distributed
clean energy funding. The IEG review of the World
Bank’s electricity access work, discussed in the box
on page 11, noted that coordinated national plans that
combine grid and off-grid approaches are a good
practice for achieving universal energy access.20
The review also suggested that banks move beyond
simply measuring access by headcount, and begin
considering quality, reliability, and affordability of
service as well.
The recommended energy portfolio targets for energy
access and distributed clean energy should be met within
the next two years. This builds on the recommendations
from the 2014 version of this report, which were made
with the overall goal of universal access by 2030 in mind.
This would demonstrate a commitment to solving energy
poverty, and would address a need that is currently unmet.
Overall, a major shift in energy funding is needed by all the
MDBs evaluated in this report. All MDBs need to dedicate
a greater proportion of their energy portfolios to energy
access, and to shift beyond the grid to dedicate a greater
proportion of their energy access funding to off-grid
and mini-grid clean energy. Doing so is needed to ensure
energy for all, particularly the poor populations of the
world these MDBs are supposed to exist to serve.

APPENDICES
APPENDIX A . METHODOLOGY FOR DETERMINING ENERGY ACCESS
A project is labeled positively for “energy access” if the project
in question “targets increased energy access for the poor.”
• This designation is determined by whether project
documents indicate that the project meets one or more of
the following criteria:
• The project focuses on a targeted number of new electricity
connections or energy services, such as clean cook stoves,
to poor households.
• The project focuses on electricity for services
important to the poor, such as health clinics, schools, or
telecommunications.
• The project focuses on improving the reliability of electricity
services in an area that largely serves poor households and/
or electricity services important to the poor and currently
has intermittent or unreliable access.
• The project focuses on provisions to make energy affordable
for the poor e.g., effective, transparent safety nets to ensure
that poor people can afford energy for basic needs, such as
subsidies targeted at access, not consumption (as opposed
to only having measures aimed at cost recovery, such as
tariff increases).
• The project is focused on productive uses in energy poor
communities, such as providing energy to smallholder
farmers, small and medium enterprises and labor-intensive
industries.
• The project involves power grid extension to new periurban
or rural areas (as opposed to simply feeding into the
existing grid system).
• The project involves rural, off-grid solutions for providing
energy services.21
It is important to note that this method of evaluating projects
for energy access has limitations due to lack of available
information. MDB energy project documents often do not
establish specific, measureable outcomes related to increasing
energy access for all communities. Thus, MDB energy projects
often lack specific project measures aimed at access for poor
communities and do not follow up with verification of a project’s
success in actually increasing access.
From the projects meeting the above “energy access”
criteria, we further examined relevant project documents (e.g.
project information documents, project appraisal documents,
procurement plans, and project data sheets) to determine which
“energy access” projects supported off-grid or mini-grid clean
energy. If a project’s funding was split between these forms and
other forms of energy development (i.e. grid extension or energy
efficiency), we tried to determine what portion of the funding
was applied to off-grid or mini-grid clean energy. Our efforts to
make this determination included close examination of available
project documents, project budgets, and attempts to correspond
with project MDB contacts.
Reliable information was unavailable in some cases, and actual
spending sometimes differed from the spending outlined in
project documents. In cases of uncertainty, we attempted to
communicate with a project contact but did not always receive
a response. If after these attempts, we were still unable to
determine a specific funding amount, we assigned 50 percent of
energy project funds to distributed solutions
