4. Mobilising Private Sector Investment for Climate Finance - Rationale The private sector is key to delivering sustained volumes of financing for energy efficiency and renewables. Mobilising it through concessional co- finance ensures that: –leverage of scarce GEF resources is maximised (through reflows of income generated and additional EBRD as well as other partners’ investment) –GEF activities support investments in the low-carbon economy and to mainstream climate resilience measures in the project cycle / project development –There will be clear benefits in the local capacity for sustainable energy policy-making and regulation, thus creating a positive - virtuous circle whereby a favourable policy environment will lead to further low-carbon investments

5. EBRD and the EARTH FUND EBRD working on two main proposals: –Regional Industrial Energy Efficiency Facility to enable low-carbon growth by: supporting equipment replacement; introducing competitive pressures towards low-carbon product manufacturing. Proposed Financing Instrument: EBRD loans (80%) with Earth Fund / Donor loans on concessional terms; –Regional Clean-Tech Fund to support local banks in investing in clean energy lending: Tiered fund model; Earth Fund to invest with EBRD, other donors and investors.

7. Industrial Energy Efficiency Substantial programme to support industrial clients through TA funded energy audits EBRD UNIDO programme funded by GEF under preparation in Russia ($15m) –Capacity building for federal and regional government (Energy Agency) –Training and support to large industrials and SMEs on energy management and energy efficiency technologies –Investment support through EBRD direct lending and credit lines (RUSEFF)

8.
