1 World Bank Energy Week Renewable Energy Perspectives Washington, DC April 1, 2009 Michael Eckhart, President American Council On Renewable Energy (ACORE) 1

2 Preface Opening remarks by Katherine Sierra Vice President, Sustainable Development, World Bank Currently, more than 75% of infrastructure spending in developing countries, closer to 90 percent in many IDA countries, is financed entirely by the public sector, which in turn is partly financed by governments accessing private markets. But, as we all know, it has become difficult for governments worldwide to access finance in the private markets. Private capital has undertaken a flight to quality and is unlikely to be present in the poorest countries. Today, we estimate that developing countries face a financing gap of between $270-$700 billion depending on the severity of the economic and financial crisis and the strength and timing of any policy responses. As the IEA forecasts, under a business-as-usual approach, 70% of the financing in developing countries for new power facilities until 2030 would go to fossil fuel generation. We do not think that is the optimal path for any country to follow.

3 Preface Opening remarks by Katherine Sierra Vice President, Sustainable Development, World Bank Achim Steiner, Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme said investing one percent of global GDP into five key sectors could be the key to a Global Green New Deal. In order to avoid the worst impacts of climate change and lay the foundations for green growth, Lord Stern of Brentford believes that countries should be spending about 20% of their stimulus on green measures. Nearly 40 percent of World Bank energy lending of $7.6 billion was in low carbon alternatives, up from 28 percent only three years ago. Our goal is to move our investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency to more than 50% of all energy lending over the next three years.

4 Topics 1. Early Work on Financing Solar Energy 2. ACORE 3. International Collaboration 4. Outlook and commentary

5 1993 Power For The World A Global Photovoltaic Action Plan By Wolfgang Palz, European Commission Presented to the ISES Solar World Congress Budapest, 23 August 1993 The Proposal: 1 Billion people without electricity Call for global program to reach all people with decentralized solar power 10 watts per person 10 Gigawatts to reach 100% To be accomplished by 2020 Results to Date: Less than 1% of all PV production has been put to work for the poor It is The 1% Scandal Utter failure of global institutions to implement a doable program.

6 1995 The Solar Initiative A Special Initiative within the World Bank Group Two main thrusts: Finance of commercial and near-commercial applications Facilitation of international RD&D Actions: Forge alliances within the Bank Promote a campaign to increase awareness Review Bank lending Identify opportunities to introduce renewables as an energy option
