MOBILIZING FINANCE
AND INVESTMENT
Besides supporting planning and policy efforts to improve the regulatory environment for
renewable energy (RE) in Southeast Asia, USAID Clean Power Asia works with private sector
stakeholders in the current regulatory setting, supporting developers, investors and lenders in the
development and financing of grid-connected RE projects, covering solar, wind, biomass, and small
hydro (below 15 MW). The private sector is keen to invest in RE, but is hampered by restrictive
regulations, inappropriate risk allocation, limited project finance expertise, and financing barriers.

To assist the private sector in overcoming these hurdles, USAID Clean Power Asia works within
three main areas:

1. Tools & Guidelines: Investment guidelines, templates for Power Purchase Agreements (PPA),
standard financial models, and other tools to support investment decision-making and project
development.

2. Capacity Building: Training to developers and lenders on project finance, cash flow analysis, and
the evaluation of RE projects, with a focus on utility-scale solar and wind.

3. Financial Advisory: Tailored advice on business models, financial analysis, energy procurement,
financing structures, partnerships, contracts, and potential sources of both equity and debt financing.

USAID Clean Power Asia’s support to the private sector covers a wide range of technologies and
business models, ranging from rooftop solar for onsite use at industrial and commercial facilities,
to utility-scale solar and wind farms for selling to the grid. The program fills a niche in supporting
intra-regional investment opportunities by facilitating partnerships between developers and
investors from different Southeast Asian countries.
