Financing Examples

Global experience shows that simple provision of capital is insufficient to build a functioning energy efficiency financing market, and a range of de-risking tools and transaction enablers also must be present. De-risking tools can be provided via different mechanisms and examples as discussed in Section 5: Finance Basics.

Linking policy instruments and financial instruments is critical to ensuring that demand catalysed by policy can be realised in practice. This section includes comprehensive case studies of selected financing instruments and linked policy initiatives.

Other types of specific energy efficiency financing vehicles, such as Super ESCOs and local authority-formed vehicles that develop projects, can secure financing from sources outlined in this section as well. Examples of these are included in Section 5: Finance Basics.
