Solar measurement data, regional least-cost planning, and pre-feasibility analyses supported by ESMAP have laid the groundwork for a large World Bank investment in West Africa to mobilize private sector financing in solar energy.
ESMAP has supported a World Bank project to improve Pakistan’s energy security, scale up solar power capacity, and reach 200,000 low access households with solar home systems.
An innovative financing mechanism designed with ESMAP’s help enables energy cost savings to be reinvested in energy efficiency and drives a World Bank project to improve energy efficiency in health sector buildings.
