Access in Least Developed Countries
• United Nations designates 48 Countries as
Least Developed Countries (LDCs)
• Between 1971 and 2013, Per Capita Energy Use in LDCs increased by only
12.5 %, compared with 169 % across ODCs (WB 2016)
![Page 5: LDC Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Initiatives ...unohrlls.org/custom-content/uploads/2017/03/4.-Presentation_Ram_P_Dhital_AEPC-1.pdfLDC Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040211/5e7b5d13f42de360d6234308/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Global Initiatives
![Page 9: LDC Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Initiatives ...unohrlls.org/custom-content/uploads/2017/03/4.-Presentation_Ram_P_Dhital_AEPC-1.pdfLDC Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040211/5e7b5d13f42de360d6234308/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Special Initiative for LDCs “Only initiative catering specifically to the needs of the world’s poorest countries”
Two Limbs
--Strengthen capacity of LDCs to tap into existing initiatives, including AREI--
--Provide support to those who fall within cracks in current frameworks--
-- Increase Share of RE in National Production & Consumption -- Increase RE Producers in National Grid & Mini Grids – -- Engage RE Enterprises – Increase Level & Specificity of RE Components in Nationally Determined Contributions --

BARRIERS

Estimate of Total Investment Needs to reach Universal Access by 2030
![Page 14: LDC Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Initiatives ...unohrlls.org/custom-content/uploads/2017/03/4.-Presentation_Ram_P_Dhital_AEPC-1.pdfLDC Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040211/5e7b5d13f42de360d6234308/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
USD 14.1 Bn approved for International Public Climate Finance
USD 5.6 Bn allocated for Energy Projects and Programs
IIED, 2016
USD 0.3 Bn allocated for Low Income Countries
![Page 15: LDC Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Initiatives ...unohrlls.org/custom-content/uploads/2017/03/4.-Presentation_Ram_P_Dhital_AEPC-1.pdfLDC Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040211/5e7b5d13f42de360d6234308/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
CHALLENGE IN FINANCING
• LDCs receive less than USD 300 Mn in Energy Finance
• Almost half of this, USD 118 Mn focused on decentralized energy solutions including mini-grids and off-grid energy
• Nearly, 90 % of the total grid-tied energy investment in low income countries are spent across three countries: Ethiopia, Tajikistan and Kenya
• Even, middle income group countries such as India and Ukraine received finance for decentralized energy
“Middle income countries are less in need of grant based public finance as they can potentially raise significant capital from private sources of
finance”

BARRIERS
• Economic – High Cost of Capital, Limited Market Size, Limited
Access to Finance • Socio-Cultural, Political & Institutional – Political Instability, Regulatory Uncertainty, Currency
Risk • Investor Returns – Longer Returns, Limited Commercial Finance • Climate Funds – Preference for Loans, Large Sized Projects

Q&A
• Easy to process application for the receipt country based on the commitments under the Paris Declaration to “Implement, where feasible, common arrangements at country level for planning funding, disbursement, monitoring, evaluation and reporting to government on donor activities and aid flows” (OECD, 2008: para. 32)
• Engage private businesses and investors
• Developing innovative relationships with financial institutions active in renewable energy
