Portfolio

In response to demand from developing countries, World Bank Group financing for energy infrastructure development has been strong in recent years, reaching US$ 7 billion in Fiscal Year 2008. Our energy infrastructure projects seek to increase energy access, develop renewable energy and energy efficiency, and leverage private sector participation in energy generation, transmission and distribution including through effective public-private partnership arrangements.
