Clean Energy Financing
|
The ability to overcome financing barriers is critical for scaling up of clean energy, energy efficiency, and renewable energy resources. The major financing barriers are:
- Limited availability of internal and external financing
- Lack of adequate information and communication regarding financing needs and issues
- High project development and transaction costs
- Limited capability for identification and management of risks
- Lack of technical and institutional capacity
- Limited understanding and access to tax equity, cash equity, and debt financing
- Optimum use of investment and production tax credits.
