Proponents of energy efficiency face two realities:
- cost-effective energy efficiency opportunities are abundant in every sector and
- every year a majority of these cost-effective energy efficiency opportunities remain unfulfilled. One of the critical barriers to the implementation of these projects is securing financing.
Over the years, companies and project developers have regularly requested the Alliance to identify energy efficiency financing resources, as well as to provide guidance on how to create funds for energy efficiency projects. In response, the Alliance has compiled information about different energy efficiency funds worldwide. The goal of this effort is to provide a tool for developers of energy efficiency funds and for individuals and businesses seeking financing for energy efficiency projects.
The initial result of this research is Funds for Energy Efficiency Projects, a compendium of more than 65 energy efficiency funds operating throughout the world. It provides a variety of information about each fund, including interest rates, loan terms, minimum and maximum loan amounts, types of projects, contacts, and more. Although most are loan (debt) funds, the list also presents a limited number of loan guarantees and equity investment funds.
