Abstract

As the global economy grows, so does the demand for energy. Investment in clean energy projects is increasingly important to help meet these growing energy needs. Clean energy projects are also important for environmental reasons and as part of the battle against climate change. Many clean energy sources in the world are located in developing countries, including emerging market economies. Investors in developing countries are normally faced with higher risks than those investing in high income developed economies. Higher risks in turn reduce capital flows to developing countries. This article focuses on investments in geothermal energy. It discusses the characteristics of developing countries, the risk faced by geothermal energy investors and possible instruments for funding and risk mitigation, including those offered by international financial institutions (IFIs) and export credit agencies (ECAs).
