EEFIG Underwriting Toolkit

This toolkit is designed to help financial institutions scale up their deployment of capital into energy efficiency. It was compiled with several objectives in mind: (1) help originators, analysts and risk departments within financial institutions better understand the nature of energy efficiency investments and therefore better evaluate both their value and the risks, (2) provide a common framework for evaluating energy efficiency investments and analysing the risks that will allow training and capacity building around standardized processes and understanding, (3) help developers and owners seeking to attract external capital to energy efficiency projects to develop projects in a way that better addresses the needs of financial institutions and (4) foster a common language between project developers, project owners and financial institutions.
