THE INTERNATIONAL ENERGY EFFICIENCY FINANCING
Chapter four proposes a brief overview of the typical process followed by facility owners (as prospective hosts), ESCOs, and project developers in their development and financing of an
A recent (2022) report by Benise Joseph entitled “Situation Analysis and Needs Assessment in OECS Member States on Increasing the Diffusion of Solar Energy” identifies financing as a common constraint to the uptake of solar PV in the region.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has drafted example contracts for a variety of PPA arrangements for use in creating or vetting new PPA programs. DOE has a draft RFP for use in requesting applications to create either a PPA or a lease for financing a solar installation. Select each financing option to dive deeper and learn more.
The main financing issue for solar PV in the region is that of adequate options which can serve a wide cross section of the public. Existing financing only serves those at a certain financial level who can meet certain strict requirements. Having options at each level will allow greater participation and greater uptake in the solar industry.
The need for adequate financing products to enable investment into distributed solar PV has been clearly recognized and accepted across the OECS region. Reducing solar PV prices have contributed to greater uptake but this uptake is still relatively slow when compared to other regions and other Caribbean islands.
