5 Local, regional and global players as IFC Partners over the years Half our business is with global clients We have forged long-term partnerships with key clients Recent trend of partnering with renewable energy companies expanding into emerging markets We support local clients to become global clients Local power companies investing in their own country or expanding into other emerging markets Local industrials expanding into the power sector Our local clients are becoming a larger share of our business as market reform increases opportunities for private investment in the power sector We work with emerging renewable energy companies We have supported newly started local renewable energy firms, as they begin to build their first projects 5
6 IFC s Approach to Financing Solutions 6
7 Key Features of IFC s Financing IFC requires client companies to be in the effective control of the private sector IFC takes project risks, including commercial and political risks No international competitive bidding of goods & services required but transparent procurement IFC does not accept government guarantees of IFC financings IFC provides corporate or project financing. Use of proceeds of IFC financing include: capital expenditure, acquisition, reasonable development fees, interest during construction, etc. IFC Debt Financing Up to 20 yrs, typically 8-14 yrs Loans in all major currencies and several local currencies Variable or fixed interest rates Senior or subordinated IFC Equity Financing Up to 20% of company equity + AMC (49%) Minority, passive shareholder with standard minority owners rights Right to Board representation IFC Value Added LT Partnership. Tailor-made solutions. Mobilization capacity. Global sector expertise. Local authorities knowledge. Brand enhancement. In-house technical expertise (engineering, insurance, environmental/social) 7
8 IFC can deliver a complete financing package to clients IFC Funding Capacity for its Own Account: Greenfield & total cost<$50m Greenfield & total cost >$50m Expansion or rehabilitation (corporate finance) All projects + Up to 35% of project cost Up to 25% of project cost Up to 50% of project cost Up to 25% of client s capitalization Complemented by IFC s Mobilization Capacity: Leveraging the World Bank Group s Special Privileges and Immunities: As lender of record, IFC can share its immunity from taxation More generally: IFC can syndicate (on best efforts basis) 100% of the debt financing based on a preapproved financial plan 8

10 Supportive country environment and legal framework Well-structured and clear regulatory / contractual framework, providing for : adequate mechanism of tariff adjustment and/or strong LT PPA from creditworthy utility/off-taker Government s commitment (lenders rights and security, termination provisions, financial equilibrium) Committed and experienced investor/operator/developer Sufficient equity at risk Transparent procurement Good integrity Robust financial structure Good business case (promising market / competitiveness of power generation project in merit order/ Secured input supply - hydrology, intermittent supply risk of some RE) and realistic market expectations Construction cost control What does IFC look for in Power Investments? 10
