New ideas for emerging market energy

The International Finance Corporation (IFC), part of the World Bank, has developed an impressive body of policy advisory work for off-grid energy that we have helped to package.

Creating markets, creating opportunities

 

The IFC carried out a benchmarking exercise in mid-2016, of mini-grid distributed energy services companies (DESCOs) in Tanzania as part of its market development work. The objective was to help stakeholders better design interventions, to catalyze growth of mini-grid DESCOs and create investor interest. Understanding the financial and operational performance of DESCOs is critical to assessing investment potential.
