| Summary: | This report documents the proceedings of
a scoping study conducted by the Energy Sector Management
Assistance Program (ESMAP) and the World Bank on the needs
and options for a Financing and Policy Network for
Scaling-Up Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency in
Developing Countries. At the Bonn International Conference
on Renewable Energies in June 2004, global leaders from
governments, industry, financial institutions,
non-governmental organizations, and multilateral
organizations paved the way for a new energy future that
will transform the energy structures of today and increase
the global use of renewable energy. To build upon the
success of the Bonn Conference, the idea of a "global
policy network" was proposed - the Renewable Energy
Network for the 21st Century (REN21), The network would
bring together a range of stakeholders to address the
scaling-up of renewable energy and energy efficiency by
focusing on such key issues as policies, capacity building,
technology transfer, research and development, and
financing. Within the REN21 framework, the German Government
requested that the World Bank Group lead a scoping study for
a Financing and Policy Network (FPN) relating to scaling-up
of renewable energy and energy efficiency in developing
countries. The scoping study was intended to determine if a
rationale exists for a new FPN to support scaling-up
efforts. The scoping study's objectives were twofold:
(1) to identify the prospective need for and value-added of
a renewable energy and energy efficiency financing and
policy network; and 2) to propose possible network
configuration options, as appropriate. |
