Dynamiser le financement de l’accès à l’énergie : UN TOUR D’HORIZON 2019

The report finds that while electricity financing reached a record $36 billion in 2017, only about one-third benefited households, and clean cooking finance plummeted by 73% compared to 2015-2016. It highlights severe underinvestment in Sub-Saharan Africa and for vulnerable groups, while suggesting innovative financial mechanisms like results-based financing and crowdfunding to bridge the gap.

• Electricity financing in 20 analyzed developing countries reached a record $36 billion in 2017, but only $12.6 billion of this total was estimated to provide new access for households.
• Financing for clean cooking solutions saw a drastic decline in 2017, dropping 73% compared to the 2015-2016 average, falling to $32 million against an estimated annual requirement of $4.4 billion.
• Sub-Saharan Africa faces persistent investment shortages; in 2017, four countries in the region saw investment decreases, and funding for decentralized solutions only grew by 10%, with half of that concentrated in three East African countries.
• International public financing for electricity rose to $19.4 billion in 2017, but bilateral aid from developed nations, specifically the United States and Japan, fell from $4.1 billion in 2015-2016 to $2.3 billion in 2017.
• Investment in grid-connected renewable energy plants accounted for 61% of all electricity financing, largely driven by solar photovoltaic investments in India.
• Gender-specific energy funding remains low; in 2017, only 7% of the $14 billion in annual official development assistance (ODA) for energy activities in developing countries was specifically targeted at women.
• Innovative financial models such as pay-as-you-go, results-based financing, and crowdfunding are emerging to overcome barriers like credit and currency risk, but they require scaling to be effective.
