This report examines how the WBG has supported renewable energy and energy efficiency to respond to calls for urgent action on clean energy, improve energy security, and increase access to energy for development. While the fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2005 reports informed the readers of the specifics of each WBG institution's support for renewable energy and energy efficiency, this report highlights the role of the WBG in leveraging and mobilizing private investment for renewable energy and energy efficiency. It draws lessons from projects that the WBG supports and discusses how a range of financial instruments at our disposal is used to leverage private capital. To this end, the report discusses three areas of applications-hydropower, energy efficiency, and solar PV. Case studies throughout the report illustrate different models used to partner with the private sector to support renewable energy and energy efficiency development.
