IFC and Renewable Energy 11
Why Renewables: Fueling Growth and Combating Climate Change Developing countries have a clear need to power economic growth and to improve the quality of life of their citizens (e.g. access to lighting and communications) Need to diversify generating sources and where possible, deploy indigenous power rather than using foreign exchange to import fuel Climate change and environmental concerns given diminishing resources or reserves of coal, gas and even water Solar, wind and other forms of renewable energy pose great opportunities for private investors in emerging markets if capital can be raised and risks overcome. In 2010, IFC invested $1.6 billion in climate change business, which is a 60 percent increase from the previous year. By 2013, IFC aims to increase its climate change business to at least 20% of its total annual commitments 12

Strategy IFC s approach is to invest in technology and scale, so as to bring down the cost of renewable energy to grid parity so that it is a widely used source of electricity generation in the emerging markets. To achieve this, IFC will invest in: Global renewables companies expanding their manufacturing footprint in emerging markets Leading local players that are cost competitive and can play an important role in (i) deepening the adoption of renewable power and (ii) lower the cost of renewables energy Both global and local component suppliers (e.g. blade, gearbox, towers, bearings, generators) with a manufacturing presence in the emerging markets Technology leaders building new, innovative solutions IFC is supporting private sector companies that are cost competitive and / or technology leaders in renewable energy, to combat pollution, environmental degradation and the negative impacts of climate change and to create or sustain employment in poor countries. 15
