What is Needed to Scale up Private Sector Finance? Presented by: Peter du Pont, Ph.D., USAID Contractor, USAID LEAD Program Bangkok, Thailand Presented at: Regional Workshop on Options for an Innovative Climate Finance Regime in South Asia New Delhi, India August 2013

Climate Change Funnies What is Climate Finance (again!)? Nature of Private Sector Finance Climate finance capacity needs identified in recent LEAD program activities Topics Covered in Report 2

3 The Urgency of Climate Change Meetings

4 Co-benefits?

Investments toward a low-carbon and resilient economy (broad definition) Adaptation finance: investing for increased resilience Mitigation finance: investing for reduced emissions Public and private sector investments Incremental and capital investments What is Climate Finance? 5 Source: WRI 5

Breakdown of Private Finance 6 6

asset management companies private equity and venture capital hedge funds pension funds public-private partnerships university endowments insurance companies family offices and high net individuals climate bonds commercial banks Actors in Private Sector Finance 7 7

The private sector dominates flows, but still needs to be educated and engaged. About $230 billion per year is invested globally by the private sector in climate activities Almost all of this private sector financing is for mitigation, not adaptation! MRV systems are crucial to access public finance. Key Findings related to the Private Sector from the Fast out of the Gate Report 8

Private Sector Climate Finance in LEAD Countries 9 Source: Bloomberg New Energy Finance 2013 India Total: USD 30.5 billion Bangladesh Total: USD 28 million (mostly in 2011) Nepal Total: Negligible

Capacity-building Needs Identified (1 of 2) 10 Capacity Building Need IdentifiedGovts. Banks and FIs Other (NGOs, academics, etc.) Establish regulatory frameworks and MRV systems that support climate financing Build the capacity to bridge the gap between project proposals and available financing Develop processes to understanding linkages between public budgets and climate finance Focus on national and sub-national coordination on finance Build awareness of, and capacity for, climate financing among private sector banks and investors Blend concessional financing with private sector financing Develop a learning network for effective policy, regulatory, and market mechanisms Source: USAID LEAD, Fast out of the Gate 10

Capacity-building Needs Identified (2 of 2) 11 Capacity Building Need IdentifiedGovts. Banks and FIs Other (NGOs, academics, etc.) Establish financing mechanisms for smaller-scale infrastructure Develop a pipeline of bankable climate finance projects Train utility officials in renewable energy financing Hold roundtable for fund managers on climate investments Help the countries that most need the help Facilitate access to climate financing Source: USAID LEAD, Fast out of the Gate 11

Preparing for Scaled-up Climate Financing: New Business Opportunities for Green Growth Asia LEDS Partnership Workshop on Financing Green Growth 12

Capacity building needs to scale-up climate financing How to finance adaptation Capacity to define and track climate finance flows, data and information Knowledge about clean energy technologies Measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) of GHG reductions Cross-collaboration between and within public and private sectors Capacity of sub-national governments to access and absorb climate finance Capacity of project proponents to develop bankable project proposals Capacity to develop and structure financial instruments to mobilize private funds Capacity of banks and private financiers to understand and evaluate climate projects and their risks Capacity of government officials to create an enabling environment for increased climate investments Source: Asia LEDS Partnership Climate Finance Workshop, April

Asian banks willing to engage in RE projects but additional capacity building is required (perceived risks are high) Private investors face many diverse risks when considering low carbon and climate resilient investments Feed-in-tariffs (FiTs) are playing an increasingly important role (but can also be a limitation) RE investment cannot flow properly without effective and smart policies and regulations Policy makers require a better technical understanding of RE technologies and markets Bank Perspectives 14 Source: Asia LEDS Partnership Climate Finance Workshop, April

The finance sector doesnt have a good understanding of renewables. Many clean energy funds are being set up in Asia. Strict investment criteria limit equity investments. Perceived risks are relevant to new markets and technologies: need to mitigate these risks. Private sector sensitive to political and regulatory risks given long time horizons (e.g. 20 year exposure to changes in regulations) One barrier to private sector involvement is that climate finance and cleantech are presented as a new thing. Investor Perspectives (1 of 2) 15 Source: Asia LEDS Partnership Climate Finance Workshop, April

An insurance facility for mitigating biomass supply risk should be developed for biomass projects. In order to increase private sector investments an open and unbiased dialogue must occur between the PUBLIC and PRIVATE sectors to facilitate learning and trust-building. Investor Perspectives (2 of 2) 16 Source: Asia LEDS Partnership Climate Finance Workshop, April

There is a clear and important rationale for the public sector to help leverage private climate finance. They key role of the public sector should be to: –Create an enabling environment (compet- itiveness, legal regulatory framework); –Increase the absorptive capacity of recipients; –Take on risks that the private sector isnt able to bear. Additional points: –Public should also be leveraging know-how and their knowledge of how the market works. –Public sector should engage those who actually do the finance (e.g., bankers, investors) when designing public instruments. Public Sector Role in Leveraging Private Finance 17 Source: Asia LEDS Partnership Climate Finance Workshop, April

To the extent possible, public mechanisms should be tailored to leverage and generate additional private sector investment Why? –To increase the impact of the available funds How? –Through public-private partnerships, innovative mechanisms, such as risk-sharing or market-based instruments A challenge: –Developing PPP models for climate change adaptation Simple Proposition 18

Uganda GET FiT Program –Seeks to add 125 MW of RE capacity through projects –Requires $90 million of donor funding to top up the Feed in Tariff (FiT) –Will use guarantees issued by World Bank –Will leverage approximately $350 million in private sector financing (1:4 ratio of public:private) –Has local ownership (through close cooperation with Ugandan government and Electric Regulatory Authority. Some Examples from Mitigation (1 of 2) 19

Gujarat Solar Rooftop Program –The state of Gujarat has a strong commitment to renewable energy and a long-term goal to make the provincial capital of Gandhinagar a solar powered city. –Pilot project of 5 megawatts (MW) of grid connected rooftop solar panels –Designed to combine public funding with private sector investment. –The IFC provided funding and technical assistance, while the Government of Gujarat took over the leadership with the biddings. –Key success factors : availability of rooftop inventory; attractive FiT; renewable purchase obligation for renewable energy (solar); incentives for individual rooftop owners and a robust payment mechanism for investors (e.g. letter of credit, Escrow, and reliable credit ratings). 20 Some Examples from Mitigation (2 of 2)
