The Clean Energy Finance and Investment Mobilisation (CEFIM) programme builds upon the OECD’s strong engagement with India and supports the country in unlocking finance and investment flows to achieve its clean energy targets. The programme draws on extensive stakeholder engagement and provides tailored recommendations through a Clean Energy Finance and Investment Roadmap, as well as through implementation-support activities and investor dialogues. This will be complemented by regional peer-learning activities.

Achieving India’s clean energy goals will require more targeted application of public funds, international climate and development finance, and related support mechanisms to channel investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency projects at suitable scales.

This Clean Energy Finance and Investment (CEFI) Roadmap can help India to meet this challenge, bringing together government and private sector stakeholders to agree upon a clear action plan that identifies and addresses bottlenecks complicating or constraining finance and investment in India’s clean energy sector.

This online compendium considers global experiences in the design and implementation of financing mechanisms that have been used to encourage and catalyse renewable energy investment.

These examples consider different financial instruments, including elements within their design, that could be applied to India’s bourgeoning renewable energy market.

The following cases consider how each financing mechanism was configured and applied. While the specific examples may not apply directly to the Indian context, they provide practical insights to strategies that can be tailored to other market needs.

Emphasis is placed on how the interventions have helped to improve access to finance, mitigate investment risk and increase the opportunities to scale-up private capital for renewable energy projects.
