Economic Instruments to Leverage Clean Energy Investment

The report examines how economic instruments in India, Mexico, and Indonesia can be used to attract the private investment necessary to meet Paris Agreement and SDG targets, recommending that governments align fiscal policies with climate goals to send clear signals to investors.

• The report examines fiscal policies in India, Mexico, and Indonesia, finding that while these nations are shifting toward clean energy to meet Paris climate targets, their economic instruments can either impede or incentivize renewable energy investment. Specifically, Mexico utilized a Clean Energy Certificate (CEL) market in conjunction with other climate policies to encourage clean energy investment.
• The report provides four recommendations for governments to leverage clean energy investment: aligning economic policies with energy-related SDGs and NDC targets; ensuring economic instruments provide a clear and strong signal to investors; utilizing public finance generated by these instruments to foster the energy transition; and establishing an evidence base for the design, assessment, and adjustment of these instruments.
