GoI commitment to climate change
India has made a commitment to reduce its emissions per unit of GDP by
20- 25% below 2005 levels by 2020.
 To meet and exceed this goal, India is increasing fuel efficiency

standards by 2011;
Adopting building energy codes by 2012;
Increasing forest cover to sequester 10 percent of its annual
emissions; and
Increasing the fraction of electricity derived from wind, solar, and small
hydro from the current 8 percent to 20 percent by 2020.

Need for Capacity Building
BEE statement in EEFP
“There is need to enhance capacity of banks and financial institutions
by imparting training to bank officials on opportunities for financing
energy efficiency projects in different sectors of the economy. The
capacity building is intended to help bankers in understanding the
importance and viability of financing energy efficiency projects, type
and size of projects, and ways and means to tap the huge potential in
this area.”

Why Has Implementation been Low ?
Despite the large market size, EE project implementation has
been substantially lower than anticipated

Bankers’ Perspectives on EE Projects
• Small project size - high transaction costs
• High project development costs (“soft costs”)
• Difficulties is collateralizing project assets
• Lack of well-established payment security mechanisms
• Limited appraisal experience
• Poor creditworthiness of borrowers
• No standard contracts/agreements
• Credibility of savings estimates
• Limited availability of formal M&V approaches
• Cash flow may be already pledged to existing banker

Project Risks
Risk Management
• Using proven technologies
• Project bundling
• Customized financial products
• Rigorous project appraisal
• Innovative ways to collateralize project assets
• Payment security mechanisms
• Standard contracts and agreements
• Formal third-party measurement and verification (M&V)

Achieving the Potential
What banks/FIs need to do:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Management commitment to EE financing as a business line
Identification of target markets
Establishment of Energy Efficiency Unit or Cell
Understanding of EE financing and implementation business models
Identification of available government and donor incentive programs
