  10. IFC Climate Business

  11. IFC’s Climate Change Agenda  Grow climate-related business to 20-25% of annual commitments by 2013 Thought Leadership • Methodologies for setting and monitoring climate goals and standards across all sectors • GHG intensity accounting, impact assessment and efficiency guidelines • Capacity building for private and public clients related to climate business/policy • Engagement with DFIs, institutional investors, academia and civil society Business Opportunities • Support IFC investments with global knowledge and technical expertise • Develop scalable climate business models • Invest in new and transferable technologies • Develop relations with global and local climate technology companies • Stay abreast with climate-related business solutions and markets Financial Innovation • Leverage and adapt existing financial products (e.g., carbon) • Develop new innovative financial products • Develop efficient mechanisms to leverage public funds with private investment: tap into new climate finance • Scale up through intermediation with financial institutions and funds

  12. Planned Climate Investments for IFC’s Account • IFC’s plans to grow its commitment in climate-related investments for its own account from about $1 billion/year in FY10 to $3 billion/year by FY13 • By FY13, investments in climate-friendly projects will be scaled across IFC: • Infrastructure & Natural Resources finances on/off-grid renewables; efficiency in power/T&D, transport & ICT; water • Manufacturing, Agribusiness & Services finance industrial EE & CP; renewables supply chain; green buildings; agri and forestry • Financial Markets works through FIs to finance small/medium green investments and climate-related projects • Clean Technology – investments in innovative, transferable, scalable climate technologies • Climate Financial Products & Funds across all sectors

  13. Financial Policies for Climate Change Mitigation: Challenges and Opportunities of Low-Carbon Economic Development

  14. The Global Challenge: Financing Climate Change • Current levels of annual climate financing for developing countries ($9 billion) fall short of annual estimated needs • $140-175 billion for Mitigation • $30-100 billion for Adaptation • For this to be achieved and attained, private sector participation and financing is crucial • Solutions need to integrate new business models based on: • Innovation • Scalability • Policy-based incentives and reforms Source: World Development Report 2010

  16. Policy instruments to promote Sustainability and Sustainable Energy • Policy instruments are required to promote change in market behavior for the public good. This is particularly common for sustainability • Environmental protection • Energy efficiency • Renewable energy development • Cleaner production • Can range from command and control to market based mechanisms • Policy instruments essentially serve to overcome market barriers for the transformation • Where the underlying sector has economic value, market based instruments provide the most efficient way of achieving a market transformation

  17. Aspects of Sustainable Energy • Supply side Efficiency • Transmission lines • Power factor correction • Public transportation • taxis • Supply side renewables • Promotion of grid connected renewable energy • End user use of renewables • Solar hot water and PV • Industrial captive power • Demand side • Industrial consumers • Municipalities (street lighting, pumping) • Commercial and residential : Buildings and Appliances • Vehicular standards and fuels switch

  18. Barriers to Sustainable Energy • Awareness • Industry • General public • Use of public transport • Capacity • Utility • ESCO/equipment • Industry • Commercial • Incentives • Business case • Financial • Technical capacity of banks • Transaction size

  19. Policy Instruments Increasing cost efficiency & Decreasing control

  20. Roles of the State • Policies reflecting climate change and sustainability challenges • Energy policy including role of renewable energy, energy efficiency framework & targets • Environmental policies • Institutional & legal framework • Energy efficiency/renewable energy promotion agencies • Energy efficiency standards/labeling • Energy auditing and market capacity • Renewable energy supporting schemes (feed-in tariffs, off-take structures) • PPP frameworks (ESCo/EPC support) • Utility programs/incentives

  21. Roles of the State • Financial incentives • Removing energy price subsidies, targeted structures for low-income households • Direct subsidies • Mobilization of the market (investment subsidies, cash-back incentives) • Managing the risk (first loss guarantees) • Fiscal incentives • Tax credits, tax reductions, accelerated depreciations

  22. Getting the Policy Instruments Right • Should be sustainable : the market behavior should have changed permanently after the incentives are phased out • Should be cost-effective • Should simultaneously support and reinforce all the sections of society that need to change • People do not want to change and therefore try to maximize the incentives End user Manufacturer/distributor Financier

  23. Creating space for a new product/service

  24. Creation of Demand desirability

  25. Incentivizing Manufacturers/Service Providers

  26. Enabling Financing 1 more details on following slides

  27. Energy Efficiency Financing Potential IFC role

  28. Renewable Energy Financing Potential IFC role

  29. Thoughts for Creation of a State Fund • All players will want to maximize subsidies in the short term • The State should: • Maximize leverage of the fund to create maximum impact • Maximize sustainability/Minimize distortions • Work through the financial sector to ensure long-term ownership

  30. Some State Fund Models

  31. State Fund Increasing leverage Risk sharing- pari passu Subsidizing capital Risk sharing subordination Direct financing Financial Institution Project Project Project Project Project Project Project Project Project Sustainability Project Low Medium High Project

  32. State Fund Increasing leverage Risk sharing- pari passu Subsidizing capital Risk sharing subordination Direct financing Financial Institution Project Project Project Project Project Project Project The value of the state fund and the component of project requiring market financing Only the risk sharing structures make an impact on financing and risk Project Project Project Project

  33. Summary • The risk sharing structures are the only structures that address risks that banks may be concerned about • Capital subsidies reduce project costs but the risk to the bank is the same (except on the smaller loan amount) • The subordinated risk sharing provides maximum leverage, impact and sustainability and is the preferred model • Here the state fund can provide a first loss for banks loans extended to the desired sector
