Leveraging Energy Access Finance (LEAF) Framework

About this project

Levering Energy Access Finance (LEAF) will deliver Distributed and Decentralised Renewable Energy (DRE) solutions to tackle the energy shortfall whilst dramatically reducing carbon emissions and simultaneously boosting local economies and businesses. • The Framework aims to address critical financing and investment barriers faced by the DRE sector by deploying credit enhancement instruments and supporting new innovative financial products with potential to scale up investments. • The Framework will help overcome the challenges of inadequate distribution networks, dependency on climate-afflicted hydropower and lack of reliability of the power systems, by providing a clean, reliable and affordable source of energy. • It will help towards avoidance of 28.8 MtCO2eq of emissions and provide increased energy access to 5.9 million people.
