Supported Projects
RE/EE Investment Advisory Facility (IAF)
To date the facility has provided support to twelve investment
evaluations for projects located in South and Central America,
the Caribbean, East Africa, Eastern Europe and the South Pacific.
The technologies involved include wind farms, a geothermal plant,
a small hydro plant, a district heating system, a sustainable
forestry plantation and a coffee processing waste utilisation
project. The type of advisory support provided includes:
- For a geothermal power plant in
Vanuatu, support the completion of a pre-exploration feasibility
which would replace diesel fuel as the principal source of energy,
- For a salt mine investment in Tanzania, evaluate a possible
sustainable forestry plantation adjacent
to the mine which would supply wood for salt drying,
- For a wind farm investment in Jamaica,
investigate whether emission reduction credits can be valued,
certified and sold to create the additional revenue stream required
for project viability,
- For a small hydro 'peaking' plant
in Guatemala, provide a third party technical assessment to
resolve outstanding design issues between bank and developer,
- Assist a bank in evaluating two potential cogeneration investments
as part of a proposed carbon offsets investment fund. The first
involves a coffee waste recovery process
in Costa Rica, and the second a district heating
plant upgrade, in Slovak Republic,
- For a wind farm investment in
Argentina, conduct a third party review of wind resource data
and plant technical design,
- For a biogas plant in the Philippines,
investigate whether emission reduction credits can be valued,
certified and sold to create the additional revenue stream required
for project viability,
- For a proposed energy investment fund
in Latin America, conduct market sizing for fund pipeline development,
- For a wind farm investment in Ghana,
prepare the environmental impact assessment,
- For a proposed clean energy fund in
Nepal, support the preparation of legal documentation; the approvals
process; and fund capitalisation efforts.
