Project Context, Objectives and Description

The proposed readiness aims to develop and operationalize a Nattional Financing Vehicle (NFV) for Dominica. The NFV mission is to increase private sector investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency (RE and EE) technology by adjusting the risk/return profile of investment opportunities by offering concessional finance to priority climate change adaptation and mitigation projects.

The objectives of the NFV are to increase:

  • The use of viable RE and EE technologies in Dominica, in order to decrease energy costs of the population
  • The country’s energy security by reducing its dependency on imported fossil fuels
  • Climate change mitigation by reducing GHG emissions
  • Climate resilience by providing a pathway toward financing distributed energy generation projects
  • Dominica’s transition to Low Carbon pathway as articulated in the Low Carbon Climate Resilience Development Strategy
  • Facilitation of Investment Opportunities in Dominica’s Blue Economy Masterplan designed to address the Climate Resilient Development Pathway of the Low Carbon Climate Resilient Development Strategy
  • Capacity to originate, design, structure and bring to finance sustainable

Outcomes

The outcomes are the following:

  • Strategies for transforming and attracting private sector investment for low emissions and resilience developed and being used
  • An increased in the number of quality project concept notes developed and submitted that target SIDS, LDS and African states
