Portföljgaranti förnybar energi Rwanda

Objectif officiel

The proposed intervention is a guarantee aimed at facilitating increased access to finance for small and medium sized private actors focused on renewable energy solutions, and end users, to support the development of, and access to, affordable and clean energy solutions in Rwanda in the areas not covered by the national Energy Access Roll-Out Programme (EARP) for grid expansion. In relation to the strategy for Sweden’s development cooperation with Rwanda 2015-2019, this is directly linked to increased access to services and support for improved opportunities to start and run commercial businesses, which is one of the result under the support area of “better opportunities and tools to enable poor people to improve their living conditions”. The intervention strengthens the possibilities for access to capital specifically in the field of renewable energy, which also ties to the support area of “a better environment, limited climate change impact and greater resilience to environmental impact, climate change and natural disasters”. It is explicitly stated in the strategy that “the business sector’s work on green economic development and green innovations, including sustainable energy solutions and trade in green products and services, can help to limit negative environmental and climate impacts.” This intervention will increase the likelihood of a private sector investment focusing on sustainable energy solutions and green services and therefore be well aligned with the Swedish government strategy in this results area. A guarantee program in Rwanda addressing this sector would also enhance and support the development impact of ongoing and planned initiatives within the Swedish development cooperation with Rwanda. Primarily, the Energy for Impact (E4I) programme, aimed at scaling up renewable energy by supporting the private sector to deliver access to energy in rural areas, will be supported by this guarantee. Supporting the development of increased access to finance for clean energy is also a crosscutting enabler for sustainable economic development, human health, equitable growth and the resilience of poor and vulnerable communities. The guarantee is also relevant in relation to Sweden's current support to Access to Finance Rwanda (AFR) aiming to increase income and productive employment for the poor through increased access, and utilisation, of financial services. The intervention can therefor be viewed as strategic and catalytic for several results areas identified for the Swedish development cooperation with Rwanda. The guarantee is expected to enable financing to private actors focused on development of, and access to, renewable energy solutions. This through risk sharing with the financial institutions, which traditionally are cautious with lending to actors in the energy sector - a sector which is percieved as high risk. A guarantee is assessed as a cost efficient way of strenghtening achievement of development results in the strategy for Swe
