Generating effective business and finance solutions that make renewable energy and energy efficiency a bankable prospect for the private sector is more critical than ever. The issue is not the availability of capital. It is how to bring existing capital into the clean energy development market, with guarantee facilities and risk management and mitigation models that help address the high perceived risk. REEEP experience already points to several clear routes forward here. For funds and finance facilities, the per - ceived high risk of clean energy projects can be managed by ensuring that the proj - ect pipeline is credible and that the com - mitment of early-stage investors is serious, and by judging the strength of the past track record of the promoter company. 17 In developing countries, people are often willing to consider clean energy solutions SCALING UP LOW-CARBON DELIVERY

This initiative aims for 20 GW of installed grid-connected solar power by 2022, up from 3 MW today, and over the longer term aims to bring the price of solar-generated electricity down to match that of fossil fuels by 2030. Discussions centered around what kind of enabling environment would be required and the role of international links in the process, particularly with an eye towards low-carbon technology. The event drew a distinguished range of participants includ - ing the Hon.

Mission Statement We are committed to working with partners from governments, business, finance and civil society around the world to expand the global market for renewable energy and energy efficiency. The Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP) is a Type II World Summit on Sustainable Development partnership providing a new and flexible way of working together to achieve common goals. Through REEEP we will share knowledge, communicate across national boundaries and work to spread best practice in order to overcome the barriers to the development of renewable energy and energy efficiency. We believe that REEEP will help its partners achieve a sustainable energy future.

LaGuardia Foundation, May 2009 – present and energy efficiency.’ I Many different financial instruments have been used individually to promote Dr. Kandah K. Yumkella, renewable energy development in rural Director-General UNIDO, Chairman of UN Energy settings. However, taken in isolation, most of these are not financially viable for small landholdings of one to 10 hectares. There is a need to redefine the role of RE by its capacity to develop high-value prod - ucts, rather than simply act as a substitute for another energy source, and to develop and support the entire commercial chain through financing. The project therefore aims to demon - strate the value of renewable energy financing as a significant new tool for rural economic development, by using solar water pumps, solar dryers and biodi - gestors to help farmers produce high-value products for local and national markets. Through the REEEP-supported Energy Millennium Development Goal Financing Facility (E-MDG-F), the project will provide international renewable energy financing to supplement local financial support for small farmers in João Pessoa, Brazil, thus creating a hybrid of two standard financing models. The E-MDG-F will finance RE technologies that can add value: micro-irrigation, solar pumps and storage systems, biodigestors for organic fertiliser and biogas production, and solar dryers for fruits and herbs. 74 The project will also include studies to establish preferences for production and basic sales projections for each product, ANNEXES

The framework will also consider fair market access, return on investment, supply quality, standards, mar - ket support structures and incentives.

Annex C: REEEP Global Programme Priorities 2010/11
The definition of the regional and global priorities for 2010/11 were developed under the four separate programming themes of Business, Finance, Policy and Regulation. This encouraged a more in-depth analysis of each region’s sectoral requirements in order to formulate accurate individual regional priorities. The resulting regional programme priorities will ultimately allow developers to tailor their project proposals to address specific needs within an individual region, adding real value and achieving tangible impacts at ground level.
