The Clean Energy Financing Partnership Facility (CEFPF or the Facility) was established by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in April 2007, to assist developing member countries (DMCs) improve energy security and transit to low-carbon use through cost-effective investments, particularly in technologies that result in greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation (Appendix 1). CEFPF is composed of the Clean Energy Fund (CEF), the Asian Clean Energy Fund (ACEF), the Carbon Capture and Storage Fund (CCSF) and the Canadian Climate Fund for the Private Sector in Asia (CFPS).1 The Facility contributes to the energy sector in achieving the scaled up ADB’s annual target set in September 2015 - ADB pledged to double its annual climate financing to $6 billion by 2020, with $4 billion for climate mitigation and $2 billion for climate adaptation. The energy sector aims to contribute about $3 billion to climate mitigation. The overall implementation progress and operational results of CEFPF from 1 January to 31 December 2018, measured against the design and monitoring framework (DMF), are provided in this 2018 Annual Report.2 The DMF is attached as Appendix 2. 2. CEFPF Progress towards Targets. The Facility’s progress towards the 2020 targets is encouraging as it continues to provide critical financial support to clean energy projects. In 2018, the Facility financed investment projects and technical assistance to leverage financing in clean energy infrastructures and conduct capacity building. Since the Facility was established, it has allocated $258.4 million to support 187 projects3 covering 37 DMCs and leveraging about $6.7 billion of clean energy investment. The Facility is expected to contribute about 10.3 terawatt-hour equivalent (TWh-eq) per year of energy savings, 1,567.8 megawatt (MW) installed renewable energy capacity, 5.3 TWh per year of renewable energy generation and 23.5 million tons of carbon dioxide (tCO2) emission reduction per year (Figure 1). 3. Deployment of Renewable Energy Technologies. In 2018, the Facility supported the deployment of technologies that would increase the use of renewable energy in the DMCs. The Facility will introduce floating solar photovoltaic (PV) technology in Viet Nam, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan and the Kyrgyz Republic through the projects Viet Nam: Floating Solar Project and Regional: Floating Solar Energy Development Project. The Facility also supported technologies that enable the integration of renewable energy to the grid, such as energy storage system and energy management system, in the project Viet Nam: Battery Energy Storage System and Renewable Energy Forecasting.
