Financing and Scaling Productive Use of Energy

Productive use of (renewable) energy (PUE) is commonly recognised as a potential contributor to economic development, particularly in food value chains. This paper focuses on the wider context of how to structure, scale and finance PUE as a sustainable business model. Furthermore, this publication emphasises the underlying financing challenges for PUE projects and companies in all application contexts (urban, rural, industrial, food value chain, etc.) and presents recommendations that may be integrated in financiers’ and investors’ approaches to PUE to better support the growth and financial sustainability of the sector.

Recognising that the success of off-grid electrification rests upon solid planning, the Government of Ethiopia developed an updated version of its National Electrification Program (NEP 2.0) in 2019. Ethiopia uses a digitalised master planning approach with numerous tools and cross-checks to designate the most suitable access technology per community throughout the country. The strength of the master plan lies in the combination of a geospatial mapping with cross-referenced and digitised baseline data.
