Download or read book Financing Energy Projects in Developing Countries written by Hossein Razavi and published by Pennwell Books. This book was released on 2007 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An update to his comprehensive 1996 text on project finance in emerging economies, Razavi's authoritative new book provides first-hand information and analysis of how multilateral, bilateral, and commercial financiers decide to support an energy project. It presents the major changes in the attitudes and orientations of these financiers as they have entered a competitive environment seeking opportunities to do more business in the energy sector of developing countries. For every good energy project, there is a financier somewhere. However, creating an attractive project package requires an explicit understanding of the following: availability of soft loans, credits, grants, tied and untied loans; objectives, tendencies, and requirements of various financiers; possibilities of combining various financial instruments; methods of economic, financial, and risk analysis and mitigation. The reader is guided through the process of understanding the fundamentals of project financing, getting to know the financiers, and developing an acceptable project package. Finally, some real-world case studies demonstrate the intricacies of mobilizing funds for projects in various segments of the energy sector.

Download or read book How Project Finance Can Advance the Clean Energy Transition in Developing Countries written by Robin Baker and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global climate change imperative presents a particular challenge because of the scale and nature of the investment needed in developing countries, coupled with the difficulty of raising long term debt in many of them. Project finance can help to address this challenge because it enables separation and allocation of different risks to different parties, which can help to attract different funders with different risk appetites. In particular, it is a vehicle to segregate green assets for funding and could assist in incorporating targeted credit enhancement products, such as those offered by the World Bank and other governmental agencies looking to promote clean energy investments. This international dimension is critical, as the challenge will require substantial outside support and innovation. The constraint is not the global availability of finance, but the risk profile of the projects (mostly local-currency generating projects with longer-term infrastructure-type returns) and the availability of the necessary skilled resources. Unless addressed, these constraints will continue to limit the availability of debt finance for clean energy projects in developing countries and thus the ability to achieve global climate change objectives.
Download or read book Financing Clean Energy Access in Sub Saharan Africa written by Bruno Michoud and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-15 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book analyses barriers and challenges associated with the financing of clean energy access in sub-Saharan Africa. By considering various economic, financial, political, environmental and social factors, it explores the consequences of energy poverty across the region and maps the real and perceived investment risks for potential capital providers, both domestic and international. Furthermore, it analyses risk mitigation strategies and innovative financing structures available to the public and private sectors, which are aimed at leveraging capital in the clean energy sector at scale and fostering the creation of an enabling business and investment environment. More specifically, the present book analyses how to (i) enhance capital allocation in projects and organisations that foster clean energy access in the region, (ii) mobilize private capital at scale and (iii) decrease the cost of financing through risk mitigation strategies. Going beyond traditional approaches, the book also considers socioeconomic and cultural aspects associated with investment barriers across the subcontinent. Moreover, it urges the public and private spheres to become more actively involved in tackling this pressing development issue, and provides policy recommendations for the public sector, including proposals for business model evolution at multilateral agencies and development institutions. It will appeal to a wide readership of both academics and professionals working in the energy industry, the financial sector and the political sphere, as well as to general readers interested in the ongoing debate about energy, sustainable development and finance.

Download or read book Handbook of Green Finance written by Jeffrey D. Sachs and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook deals with various financial instruments, policies, and strategies in a policy-oriented approach for financing green energy projects. Recently, global investment in renewables and energy efficiency has declined, and there is a risk that it will slow further, Clearly, fossil fuels still dominate energy investments. This trend could threaten the expansion of green energy needed to meet energy security, climate, and clean-air goals. Several developed and developing economies are still following pro-coal energy policies. The extra CO2 generated from new coal-fired power plants could more than eliminate any reductions in emissions made by other nations. Finance is the engine of development of infrastructural projects, including energy projects. By providing several thematic and country chapters, this handbook explains that if we plan to achieve sustainable development goals, we need to create opportunities for new green projects and scale up the financing of investments that furnish environmental benefits. New financial instruments and policies such as green bonds, green banks, carbon market instruments, fiscal policy, green central banking, fintech, and community-based green funds are among the chief components that make up green finance.

Download or read book Project Financing Renewable Energy Projects written by Nneka Iyabode Eze and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project financing renewable energy projects in developing countries is a daunting task which is further limited by the geo-political, economic and regulatory risk present in the developing countries. Renewable Energy is affected by the intermittent seasonal supply which makes it a high risk activity. But, Renewable energy is the new dispensation in the world's energy mix. It has the potentials of meeting and surpassing the world's energy demand, generating a secure and long term sustainable energy supply and reducing local and global GHG emissions.There is few renewable energy technologies that can compete with conventional fuels in terms of costs even though Renewable Energy offers a solution to the global environmental problems associated with conventional fossil fuels, it is still more expensive.The major problem associated with development of renewable energy is the fact that it has been difficult raising finance for renewable energy projects mainly due to the risks associated with it. But, can CDM be the answer for renewable energy development in developing countries? Will it encourage the technology transfer that will lead to transfer of skills and knowledge that will result in the sustainable development goal of the Kyoto Protocol for project based mechanisms in developing countries? Furthermore, is it able to give investors the confidence to invest in developing countries?
Download or read book Investment and Finance in the Energy Sectors of Developing Countries written by Hossein Razavi and published by Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research. This book was released on 1998-10-22 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Bank's projection of world economic growth indicates that while industrial countries are expected to experience a growth rate of 2.4 percent per annum for the next 15 to 20 years, developing countries are likely to see a growth rate of 5.4 percent per annum. The substantial difference between the two growth paths has some significant impacts on energy consumption, energy investments and financial requirements for energy projects. For example, the investment needs of the power sector in developing countries is expected to be around US $130 billion per year, more than twice the projected power investments in industrial countries. Also, the biggest increases in demand for oil and gas are occurring in the developing world, which is where most of the world's proven oil and gas reserves are located. Thus, international energy companies, investors, equipment suppliers, contractors and consulting firms are shifting their attention from Europe and North America to developing countries, which are likely to offer more business opportunities in the energy sector in the future. Although numerous energy projects are initiated, many of these projects do not reach the implementation stage because of difficulties in mobilizing financial resources. The difficulties are due to the presence of various types of political and commercial risks in developing countries. As a result, structuring finance packages for energy projects in developing countries has become a complex discipline that involves innovative combinations of multilateral, bilateral and commercial funds. This paper provides a global projection of energy investments in the developing countries, and then describes emerging methods of financing oil, power and natural gas projects.
