Description

Description The Private Financing Advisory Network (PFAN) identifies promising clean energy projects at an early stage and provides mentoring for development of a business plan, investment pitch, and growth strategy, significantly enhancing the possibility of financial closure.
Objectives PFAN screens business plans, selects the most economically viable and environmentally beneficial projects, and provides  extensive coaching and guidance before projects are presented to investors at Clean Energy Financing Forums hosted across Asia,  Latin America and Africa.
Activities Around 360 clean energy projects have been inducted into the PFAN Project Development Pipeline. These projects employ technologies including biogas, biomass, waste to energy, clean transport, wind, solar, small hydro and energy efficiency solutions. Thus far, 87 projects have achieved financial closure with over US$ 1.2 billion of investment raised. Combined, these projects have the potential to mitigate over 2.6 million tons of CO2e emissions per year and provide over 701 MW of clean generation capacity.
