Private Sector Solutions for Development: Renewable Energy


Sustainable Solutions

IFC puts a priority on renewable energy—focusing on first-of-a-kind projects that demonstrate technical feasibility, attract additional private financing, and encourage key policy reforms.

In addition to financing climate-smart infrastructure projects directly, we also support local financial institutions active in the sustainable energy market. IFC’s customized lending and advisory services packages help these clients build profitable new lines of business, leveraging domestic resources that would otherwise be unavailable for clean energy financing. Together, this combination helps increase the private sector’s role as part of the World Bank Group's strategy for the fight against climate change.
