Supporting the overall environment KfW s experience Evaluating the market Supporting the development banks Development and introduction of environmental and social management systems (ESMS) Support in designing, marketing and monitoring climate and environmental finance Introducing risk mitigation mechanisms Supporting the financial intermediaries Training for the financial intermediaries in developing products and evaluating project risks Development of guides for investments in RE in specific countries Supporting the sub-borrowers and project developers Grants for feasability studies Energy audits Events and marketing to generate awareness of the benefits, market opportunities Cofinancing and exchange of experiences ALIDE, BID, IBRD, EIB, and others 12
Key issues in designing green credit lines for GHG mitigation 1. Regulatory environment Green Credit Lines 2. Environmental impact, MRV 3. Eligible investments 4. Distribution channels 5. Financial incentives, risk mitigation 6. Technical assistance
3. Some project examples KfW Development Bank
Effects Approach Problem Ukraine: Energy Efficiency Credit Lines in Housing Increasing demand for energy High energy intensity: - Out-dated production technology - Low energy-efficiency of houses Economic performance of the Ukraine heavily depends on energy prices KfW Credit Line for the local ProCredit Bank ProCredit provides low interest financing to households and small and medium enterprises for energy efficiency measures KfW also provides consultancy services Increased competitiveness of firms Generation of know-how in the financial sector Decreasing wastage of energy has positive effect on climate
Effects Approach Problem India: Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) Increasing demand for energy due to economic development and population growth Barriers to the exploitation of solar energy - Higher investment costs - Lack of financial resources and know-how Installation of the first CSP plant in Asia Additional revenue via CDM certification Transfer of knowledge from implementation of CSP technology in Spain and USA (IPEX) Supply of clean energy for 50,000 people CO 2 savings of more than 25,000 tons p.a. First experiences with this innovative technology
Status of the portfolio in 2011: > 2 billion USD 16 countries > 40 programmes Subsidies: ODA, OOF (other official funds) New programmes : ~ 250 million USD p.a.
Wirkung Ansatz Problem Mexico: Energy Efficiency Program for Households High energy consuming old appliances in households. None incentives for energy efficiency investments KfW concessional loan energy efficiency fund FIDE via national development bank NAFIN FIDE provides attractive financing conditions for end consumers when acquiring appliances. Repayment though electricity bill. Obligatory removal of old appliances (scrapping) Energy saving of households Raising awareness for energy efficiency Improving distribution and commercialization of energy efficient appliances.
Wirkung Ansatz Problem Brasil: Promoting Wind Energy Fast growing energy demand in Brazilian emerging market High untapped potential for wind energy KfW concessional loan to national development bank BNDES for financing wind farms. Favorable financing conditions (low interest rate, longer lifetime) for 4 wind farms, respectively 120 MW Ambitious social and environment guidelines by the project selection Efficient and environmental friendly electricity generation Mitigation of CO2 emissions Improving supply guarantee through diversification of energy mix.
Effects Approach Problem Peru: Protecting the Forest Destructive exploitation of the rain forest - Lack of incentives for sustainable use of forests - Insufficient protection of nature reserves Loss of biodiversity and CO 2 storage Investments in infrastructure of nature reserves to improve protection and administration Support for the forest management Integration of the local population into the project Improved protection of biodiversity Preservation of CO 2 storage Long term support for the local economy through sustainable exploitation plan
The role of national and regional developement banks (NRDBs) in promoting climate friendly development KfW s experience and issues for discussion 1. In practice, what role do NRDBs play in: Channelling resources for climate friendly investments Acting as policy advisor for their respective governments/shareholders for shaping national climate policies and NAMAs. Acting as a broker for bringing together public and private investors at national and subnational levels 2. What adequate mix of financial and non-financial instruments may NRDBs offer to promote climate friendly growth? 3. What potential do NRDBs have to leverage and blend: Bilateral and multilateral public finance including global climate funds (e.g. CTF, GCF) Private capital (recommendation B20 taskforce) 4. Do NRDBs need improve coordination mechanisms to follow up international climate negotiations? If so, what kind of plattforms offer best value added? (e.g. ALIDE, IDFC, Durban Plattform, this conference, Rio +20) 13
