Rethinking development assistance for renewable electric power

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to draw lessons from past development assistance for renewable electric power technologies and make recommendations regarding how it could more effectively overcome existing market and policy barriers to greater use of renewables. The lessons are extracted from a general review of past multilateral and bilateral assistance for renewables themselves and for the power sectors of developing countries, as well as from an examination of several individual assistance projects (focusing on the extent to which they have stimulated markets for renewable technologies). The diversity of renewable technologies and applications, as well as developing county needs, make broad generalizations difficult; nonetheless, this paper identifies overall changes needed in development assistance if large potential markets for renewably-generated electric power are to be realized.
