【內容簡介】This paper presents an analytical and operational framework to motivate and evaluate the role of development finance institutions (DFIs) in enhancing the progress toward a global clean energy transformation. The world community has committed to ambitious goals to close global infrastructure gaps, mitigate climate change, and advance the 2030 Agenda for development, which demands a clean energy transformation---a significant increase in the renewable energy as a percent of total energy consumption in a relatively short period of time. Despite its positive environmental externalities, fostering the renewable energy market entails huge initial capital cost, high uncertainties, and long-term investment horizon whose formation and deployment are further exacerbated by vested interests of conventional fossil fuel energies and lack of supporting infrastructure. To overcome these challenges, we propose an analytical and operational framework where DFIs are uniquely positioned to foster a clean energy transformation by planning in advance to achieve the target of increasing renewable energy investments, scaling up renewable energy investments, incubating renewable energy technology, coordinating corresponding investments including energy transmission and distribution lines, and acting as an honest broker to foster policy changes and make social accounting to overcome the incumbent entrenchment by fossil fuel energies. Finally, we apply the analytical framework to specific cases of DFIs in an effort to evaluate the extent to which DFIs act as an agent for a clean energy transformation in an effort to make targeted policy recommendations.
