The ZambiaRenewable Energy Financing Framework is a program co-financed by the GreenClimate Fund and African Development Bank (AfDB) to support the Governmentof the Republic of Zambia in its efforts to catalyze private investmentfor small-scale renewable energy projects and thereby accelerate theachievement of its electricity generation targets and the diversification ofits energy mix. The program aims to finance 100 megawatts ofrenewable energy independent power producer projects and offer technical assistance toscale-up renewable energy investment in Zambia.
Technical assistance under the Zambia Renewable EnergyFinancing Framework:
supports public sector institutions to createthe enabling environment for private investments in the mini-grid and off-gridsector
builds the capacity of selected localfinancial institutions and the Zambian financial industry on renewable energyand infrastructure financing.
This intervention is consistent with the mandate of AfDB and the Green Climate Fund to unlock small- and medium-sized private renewable energy investments.
The USD 58 million Off-Grid Energy Access Fund was launched by the AfDB, the Nordic Development Fund and otherpartners as part of the Bank''s sponsored Facility for Energy Inclusion, aUSD 500 million debt platform to mobilize capital markets support forinnovative energy access strategies. The Off-Grid Energy Access Fund supports financially sustainabletransactions that engage local capital markets to increase access to cleanelectricity for underserved households by providing flexible debt instruments tocompanies in the household energy access sector including consumer creditproviders, manufacturers and distributors.
