1 ADB Innovative Financing Instruments for Clean Energy Samuel Tumiwa Senior Energy Sector Specialist Regional and Small Hydro Summit Dehradun, Uttanranchal October 2006 ADB s Mission To help our developing member countries (DMCs) reduce poverty and improve their living conditions and quality of life. ADB s Core Business Finance and advice for development solutions 1

2 Regional Character Asia and Pacific is our only focus Concern for small economies Emphasis on regional and subregional cooperation Active role in developing domestic bond markets Current Energy Path (1) Focuses on expanding fossil fuel supplies Neither environmentally nor economically sustainable Chart: IEA World Energy Outlook

3 Current Energy Path (2) Energy use in Asia- Pacific increasing to support economic growth Energy investments (mostly for electricity) largest in Asia-Pacific through 2030 Chart: IEA World Energy Outlook 2005 Energy use in Asia Pacific (1) Consumption rose 183% from 1973 to 2004 (vs 66% worldwide) 30% of world consumption by 2030 Growth driven by manufacturing and rural-to-urban migration trends Chart: IEA,

4 Energy use in Asia Pacific (2) Fossil fueldominated supply mix: 41% coal, 25% oil, and 7% natural gas GHG share: 8.7% in 1973, 24.4% in 2003 and 30.4% by 2030 Chart: IEA World Energy Outlook 2004 Energy use in Asia Pacific (3) Relatively low end-use efficiencies Relatively low per capita energy consumption must increase to improve quality of life Limited access to energy services $4.5 trillion in energy investments needed by DMCs in Chart: IEA World Energy Outlook

5 Highest level in past 160,000 years Year 2100 ADB works towards a low-carbon future Slow down the growth of GHG emissions, then stop and reverse them Needed: a shift from an economy dominated by fossil fuels to a lowcarbon and sustainable energy future Energy efficiency (EE) and renewable energy (RE) investments needed in diverse market segments Chart: Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2001 Promoting EE and RE Lower GHG emissions Improved local air quality Reduced upward pressure of international fuel prices Diversified primary energy sources for energy security 5

7 Energy Efficiency Initiative An ADB Initiative in support of Clean Energy & Environment 13 ADB s Energy Efficiency Initiative (EEI) ADB launched EEI in July 2005 Expand EE operations to $1 billion/yr Focus on both supply-side and demand-side EE (including RE) 7

8 EEI Implementation ( ) EEI Phase I Inception (Jul Jun 2006) EEI Phase II - Formulation (Jun 2006-Dec 2007) EEI Phase III - Implementation ( ) Mainstreaming EE in ADB Operations Phase I Initiation (Jul 2005 Jun 2006) Phase II Formulation (Jun 2005 Dec 2007) Phase III Implementation ( ) Establish rationale for expanded ADB action in EE Provide priorities and framework for next steps Prepare country-level investment/action plans and project pipeline Design and establish the Asia Pacific Fund for Energy Efficiency (APFEE) Develop institutional capacity to scale up EE investments and perform EE monitoring & evaluation Pursue immediate EE investment opportunities Execute investment and action plan Process projects in pipeline Commit APFEE fund 8

9 Design of the Asia Pacific Fund for Energy Efficiency Clean energy has been a component of ADB s operations ADB s EE and RE programs have been small traditional financing has not been responsive APFEE proposed to provide mechanism with flexibility to respond to needs of smaller EE and RE projects Special fund to lower barriers and risks, add incentives for moving towards low-carbon path APFEE s 3 Facilities Credit Enhancement (CEF) - 50% of Fund Technology Deployment (TDF) - 35% of Fund Technical Assistance (TAF) - 15% of Fund 9
