Promoting access to reliable, affordable and decarbonised energy

Supporting low-carbon electricity production solutions encourages their technological maturity and helps reduce their costs for consumers. Proparco's work with developers of solar, wind, hydroelectric and biomass power plants helps turn these sectors into key drivers of the energy transition, and a major lever for economic, social and environmental development. 

Many countries are grappling with the need to improve access to electricity for their populations and businesses and to supply power to the most remote areas. Proparco provides financing resources to partners capable of deploying effective solutions on a large scale. Mini-grids, individual solar kits or solutions for supplying energy to critical infrastructure such as telecom towers are among the solutions suitable for electrifying poorly-served or off-grid regions.

Private stakeholders in the energy sector – whether local or international developers – play a key role in the energy transition. Proparco is committed to supporting them on their decarbonisation pathway by financing renewable assets or through “transformational” loans that are subject to conditions that encourage improvements in their environmental and social practices.

Energy is a constantly evolving sector, continually enriched by new business and technology models. Proparco is committed to supporting the innovations that will become the solutions of tomorrow by financing pilot initiatives.
