Without access to reliable and affordable power, businesses and public services struggle to maintain operations. Furthermore, household energy use is closely linked to living standards and welfare. Enabling greater access to energy thus plays an instrumental role in both economic development and living standard improvements.\u00a0<br><br>Meeting growing energy needs with fossil fuels is simply no longer an option given the acuteness of the climate crisis. All countries must transition to a renewable and carbon free power sector. The opportunity to do so is real \u2013 most developing countries have abundant renewable resources and have the possibility to leapfrog directly to renewable technologies that are now technically and commercially viable.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-teft-faq-item wp-block-teft-faq-item\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"teft-faq__question\">\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"teft-faq__question-button\">Investment Needs<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"teft-faq__description\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"teft-faq__answer\">Developing countries require about <a href=\"https:\/\/unctad.org\/news\/unctad-calls-urgent-support-developing-countries-attract-massive-investment-clean-energy?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$1.7 trillion<\/a> annually in renewable energy investments to meet their energy needs, including investments for power grids, transmission lines, and storage. In emerging markets and developing economies (excluding China) annual investments need to increase by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iea.org\/reports\/world-energy-investment-2024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">30% per year<\/a> to meet the goal of tripling installed renewable energy capacity by 2030.\u00a0\u00a0<br>\u00a0<br>Both governments and consumers in many countries are looking for renewable energy solutions. Innovations like low-cost solar panels, new battery technologies, and digital payment systems are making rural electrification more accessible. Solar home systems and mini-grid solutions are also becoming more affordable and popular, requiring companies to secure working capital for growth.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-teft-faq-item wp-block-teft-faq-item\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"teft-faq__question\">\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"teft-faq__question-button\">Norfund&#8217;s Strategy<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"teft-faq__description\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"teft-faq__answer\">Norfund\u2019s energy strategy targets four areas:\u202f\u202f\u00a0<br>1. Grid-connected, large scale power plants\u00a0\u00a0<br>2. Enabling technologies to support renewables integration, including storage and transmission\u00a0<br>3. Smaller scale power plants supplying energy directly to commercial and industrial consumers\u00a0<br>4. Off-grid power supply for households, small businesses and telecoms\u00a0<br><br>We are increasingly seeing the private sector develop solutions to provide renewable power directly to commercial and industrial off-takers. These solutions cover both \u201cbehind the meter\u201d installations as well as power wheeled across the grid. This business area is evolving to include power trading, as well as investment in last-mile network infrastructure and storage.\u00a0\u00a0<br>Integrating large-scale renewables into the grid involves managing intermittency and increasing grid capacity to link areas rich in renewable energy sources with areas of demand. Thus, Norfund\u2019s energy strategy includes investing in both stand-alone storage facilities and grid enhancements. \u00a0<br>\u00a0<br>Consistent with our overarching strategy, we primarily offer equity, investing directly in companies taking risk alongside other investors. Our debt investments focus primarily on the off-grid sector, supporting their working capital needs.\u00a0<br>\u00a0<br>We are willing to support companies to develop larger project portfolios such as Globeleq and Cross Boundary Energy in Africa, Fourth Partner Limited and SAEL in India and BECIS in Southeast Asia. We have also supported the growth of local entities such as H1 and Pele in South Africa, where we have provided additional capital as these businesses have grown.\u202f\u00a0<br>\u00a0<br>Looking forward, Norfund aims to expand its renewables portfolio in target markets, leveraging and broadening our investment platforms and partnerships, and engaging with new sponsors.\u202f\u00a0
