Regional Workshop on Access to Modern Energy in Urban and Peri-Urban Areas: Policies and Knowledge Sharing
3-5 November, Senegal, Dakar
Financing Mechanism for Clean Energy Access: The AREED Programme
disconnection of modern energy regimes from the situation and needs of majority
Inspiration: D. Adams
“Empowering local entrepreneurs and enterprises is key to developing the Tier 4 markets” (the 4 billion people at
the Bottom of the Pyramid)
small-scale energy SMEs can close the gap
C.K. Prahalad & Stuart L. HartThe Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid
the case for energy SMEs beyond the grid

SME can be key players in the delivery of modern energy services -- including bioenergy -- beyond they grid because

To successfully deliver energy services, what do SMEs need?…
……yes, “Financing.” yes, “Financing.” But that alone is insufficient!But that alone is insufficient!11

the finance gap in energy SME development terms
Upstream Downstream
• Expand the number of intermediaries providing services and financing to SMEs.
• Increase the available seed capital.• Increase the available pools of next stage capital.• Provide capital at realistic return expectations =
6% to 10% ROI on an IRR basis.• Expand access to innovative consumer finance.
how can these gaps be closed?

the opportunities the opportunities these represent”these represent”
Exactly who are these “end-users”?
Often stereotyped as being:-Too poor to be taken seriously- Reluctant to adopt innovations- Unwilling to pay for modern amenities
The BOP = “those with annual incomes up to and
including $3,000 per capita per year (2002 PPP).”

Too poor to be taken seriously?

Energy Branch, UNEP
BOP spending on energy: US$433.4 billion
So, are clean energy end-users...-Too poor to be taken seriously?- Reluctant to adopt innovations?- Unwilling to pay for modern energy?
NO
Source: World Resources Institute
Energy Branch, UNEP
Are they reluctant to adopt innovations?
Consider:• The phenomenal rise in the adoption of cell-phones by people at the BOP• The rapid proliferation of innovative applications, often discovered and popularized at the BOP• In Africa today, BOP spending on ICT-related services, mainly mobile phone use exceeds US$ 5 billion
So, are clean energy end-users...-Too poor to be taken seriously?- Reluctant to adopt innovations?- Unwilling to pay for modern energy?

lessons/conclusions
• small and medium-sized private enterprises can play a vital role in expanding energy access in developing countries (proof of concept).
• governments must create supportive investment climate, undergirded by good governance and mainstreaming of integrated resource planning approaches.
• private energy SME support and end-user financing must always go hand-in-hand as part of any energy market transformation strategy.
