Energy Finance: Perspectives from the Experts

With a global climate crisis fueled by rising greenhouse gas emissions on one hand and 1.6 billion people lacking access to electricity on the other the global community faces a serious quandary: How do we increase energy access while ensuring that our growing energy supply is clean and renewable? How can we structure a financing regime that meets both our environmental and social goals?

You’re invited to a discussion with energy finance practitioners and project developers about how to provide cost-effective, clean energy in the global South. We have asked seekers and providers of energy finance to share what, from their perspectives in the field and in the firm, needs to happen to move clean energy finance from marginal to transformational in developing countries. Panelists will discuss the barriers to capital confronting clean energy at the small, medium and large scales, and how to overcome those challenges.

The panel will be followed by time for discussion with experts in the energy finance field. Panelist TBA. Please RSVP to janet@ips-dc.org.
