Data

In response to demand from developing countries, World Bank Group financing for energy projects has been strong in recent years, reaching US$8.2 billion in fiscal year 2011. Our energy 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. The numbers in this table were drawn from a review of WBG energy financing undertaken in 2011.

Notes:
1 IBRD: The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
2 IDA: International Development Association
3 GEF: Global Environment Facility provides grants and concessional loans to help developing countries meet the costs of measures designed to achieve global environmental benefits. The World Bank is one of the three implementing agencies of the GEF.
4 CTF: The Clean Technology Fund, one of two Climate Investment Funds, promotes scaled-up financing for demonstration, deployment and transfer of low-carbon technologies with significant potential for long-term greenhouse gas emissions savings.
5 Others: These include Guarantees, Carbon Finance, Special Financing and Recipient-Executed activities. Carbon Finance: The World Bank Carbon Finance Unit uses finance contributed by governments and companies in OECD countries to purchase project-based greenhouse gas emission reductions in developing countries and countries with economies in transition.
6 IFC: The International Finance Corporation provides loans, equity, and technical assistance to stimulate private sector investment in developing countries.
7 MIGA: The Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) provides guarantees against losses caused by non-commercial risks to investors in developing countries.
