Energy Efficient Lighting and Appliances
The regional project plays a central role in the transformation of all member countries’ transition towards a more energy efficient economy. UNIDO and the two African centres SACREEE (SADC Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency) and EACREEE (East African Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency) will lead the agenda on developing and enforcing minimum energy performance requirements on lighting and appliances on the African market.

Facility for Energy Inclusion (FEI) - On-Grid and Off-Grid Funds
AfDB capital for decentralized renewables for debt, in local currency. FEI will focus on providing senior and mezzanine debt to off-grid, mini-grid and small-scale Independent Power Producers (IPP). The Fund will provide hard and local currency financing.
Facility for Energy Inclusion (FEI) - Project Preparation Facility (On-Grid Fund)
The FEI Project Preparation Facility (PPF) will play a critical role in supporting projects to “financial close” through reimbursable grants, enabling FEI ON-GRID to deploy debt more effectively. The PPF is set up with the objective of covering the shortage of outright “bankable” small-scale IPPs and mini-grids. It is therefore expected that the Fund Manager will get involved in financial and legal structuring, as well as validation of technical feasibility studies (resource assessment, engineering, environmental and social, etc.), to bring projects to the finishing line.
• Mini-grid developers and small IPP developers
• Total project size of less than USD 30 million
• All RE feedstocks, but primary activity expected to be in solar PV, biomass, and small hydro
• Renewable + diesel hybrid mini-grids are eligible
