14 Derisking sustainable energy investments REDUCING RISK Removing the underlying barriers which create risk. In Uruguay, UNDP has supported the government to put in place a policy framework for independent power producers in the wind energy sector. This legislation has reduced the policy risks surrounding potential investment. 430MW of wind farms are now operational, with 1GW in investment anticipated by the end of Furthermore, increased wind investment has already resulted in lower retail tariffs for consumers. TRANSFERRING RISK Shifting risk form the private to the public sector. In Georgia, UNDP has partnered with KFW, to design a credit-line facility for commercial banks to lend to small hydro plants. With the backing of KfW, local banks have now become comfortable lending in this promising sector. The KfW facility directly led to financial closure for an initial two small hydro plants and has since been significantly scaled-up. COMPENSATING FOR RISK Providing higher returns through financial incentives. In Mauritius, UNDP contributed to the capitalisation of a feed-in tariff fund to promote roof-top solar photovoltaic (PV). The feed-in tariff scheme pays a premium price to commercial and residential investors in solar PV, generating a sufficient return to attract investment. The feed-in tariff scheme, part of the government s Maurice Ile Durable initiative, has been fully subscribed by investors. 4
