Constraints to energy efficiency investments• Profitable projects not realized because:
–Lack of knowledge about benefits;–Lack of design capabilities to prepare
energy saving projects;–Lack of financing
• Lenders’ perception (high risk) and skills (credit appraisal)

IFC Energy Efficiency Finance Program in China
Output
• Develop, implement, finance Energy Efficiency projects with end users
• Develop capacities of EE market partners
• Disseminate knowledge
Outcome
• Develop market for Energy Efficiency projects
• Improve access to financing for Energy Efficiency projects
• Demand for Energy Efficiency Finance
Input: loan loss guarantees and technical assistance

Impact Evaluation
• Defined as: systematic comparison of project’s impact in contrast to the “without project” scenario.
• More systematic assessment of non-treatment group

Many investments took place without help
Comparison group:• High awareness on EE benefits, technical
knowledge• Government policy to promote EE• High implementation of project with its
own resources/bank financing
![Page 11: Can Financial Innovation Promote Energy Efficiency? An Impact Analysis for China November 13, 2009 Hiroyuki Hatashima Independent Evaluation Group-IFC](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f305503460f94c4a79e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Many investments took place without help
Treatment group• “If you have not received a loan supported
by the program, would you still undertake the project?”
• Only about 10% said it would not implement if not supported by the program
![Page 12: Can Financial Innovation Promote Energy Efficiency? An Impact Analysis for China November 13, 2009 Hiroyuki Hatashima Independent Evaluation Group-IFC](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f305503460f94c4a79e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
IE identified key differences made by the program• Key differences are among small
companies–Large companies – have finance access,
technical knowledge, capacity;–Small companies –limited access to
financing, less projects undertaken

Summary
• Financial innovation and energy efficiency– Importance of access to financing for small
companies;– Government policy as important driver;
• Impact Evaluation– Effective in identifying intervention’s additional
contributions– Show the areas of unique contributions for future
