Why Renewables: Fueling Growth and Combating Climate Change • Developing countries have a clear need to power economic growth and to improve the quality of life of their citizens (e.g. access to lighting and communications) • Need to diversify generating sources and where possible, deploy indigenous power rather than using foreign exchange to import fuel • Climate change and environmental concerns given diminishing resources or reserves of coal, gas and even water • Solar, wind and other forms of renewable energy pose great opportunities for private investors in emerging markets – if capital can be raised and risks overcome. In 2010, IFC invested $1.6 billion in climate change business, which is a 60 percent increase from the previous year. By 2013, IFC aims to increase its climate change business to at least 20% ofits total annual commitments
IFC View of Local Regulatory Frameworks • IFC realizes that countries offer incentives (feed-in tariffs, tax credits), establish renewable targets or create legislation (import duties, local content rules) to encourage the growth of a local renewable industry • IFC supports competition and fair market access; however, we note that in the renewables sector, governments can influence the market • As such, IFC evaluates the merit of each project on a case-by-case basis, looking each company’s inherent cost competitiveness (i.e. would the company be able to compete if incentives were not in place) • The World Bank also engages with governments to improve their energy policy and improve market access.
The outlook for renewable energy generation is promising, with increased deployment expected By 2030, renewable energy is expected to account for 22% of electricity generation in emerging markets, with the biggest contributions from hydro and wind Projected Generation Costs of Renewable Energy Technologies 2007 US$ / MWh Source: International Energy Agency, World Energy Outlook 2008 Growth in renewable energy investments is expected to be driven by declining investment costs, government support and response to climate change concerns
Working Across the Wind Power Value Chain • IFC finances projects across the wind value chain from upstream equipment manufacturers to downstream power projects • Deep industry experience in clean tech, manufacturing, services and power investments • In-house investment, environmental and social, legal and product expertise COMPONENT & SERVICE SUPPLIERS (e.g. suppliers of blades, towers, transformers, controller software, etc.) WIND FARMS (captive, IPPs or utilities) TURBINE MANUFACTURERS
Strategy - Downstream • Work with global renewables developers and utilities expanding their asset base in emerging markets • Finance leading local renewables developers and utilities that are knowledgeable and can play an important role in furthering the adoption of renewable energy based electricity generation • Work with global and local corporates in other sectors (e.g. cement, oil & gas, mining, etc.) seeking to develop and own renewable energy projects in emerging market countries • Finance fund managers involved in clean energy, cleantech and carbon private equity funds that also finance smaller renewable energy projects and earlier stage companies
Strategy - Upstream IFC’s approach is to invest in technology and scale, so as to bring down the cost of renewable energy to grid parity so that it is a widely used source of electricity generation in the emerging markets. To achieve this, IFC will invest in: • Global renewables companies expanding their manufacturing footprint in emerging markets • Leading local players that are cost competitive and can play an important role in (i) deepening the adoption of renewable power and (ii) lower the cost of renewables energy • Both global and local component suppliers (e.g. blade, gearbox, towers, bearings, generators) with a manufacturing presence in the emerging markets • Technology leaders building new, innovative solutions IFC is supporting private sector companies that are cost competitive and / or technology leaders in renewable energy, to combat pollution, environmental degradation and the negative impacts of climate change and to create or sustain employment in poor countries.

IFC’s management of Concessional Donor Funds for Climate Solutions Projects IFC, through its Financial Mechanisms for Sustainability (FinMech) unit, manages and invests concessional donor funds to catalyze climate solutions projects
Donor Funds for Climate Solution ProjectsManaged by IFC Project Example: EdF La Ventosa IFC has used concessional financing from the CTF to support the development of a 67.5MW wind power plant in the State of Oaxaca (Mexico) Despite the fact that the Isthmus of Tehuantepec has a world-class wind resource, Mexico had only 88 MW of fully-commissioned and operational wind projects at the end of 2008 This project, together with additional CTF-supported wind projects, expects to have a demonstration effect and send a market signal to global wind power developers that the Mexican wind power market is viable and ready for scale-up • The Global Environment Facility • IFC has used GEF funds for concessional investments and Advisory Services for 15 years (www.gefweb.org) • The Climate Investment Funds (CIFs) which includes (www.climateinvestmentfunds.org) : • The Clean Technology Fund (CTF), to scale-up deployment clean technologies in high emitter countries • The Forestry Investment Program (FIP), to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation • Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR), to support climate adaptation • The Scaling up Renewable Energy Program (SREP), to support small scale RE in low income countries • Bi-lateral Donor Funding
