Project type: development of small-scale electricity generation solutions based on renewable energies that distribute electricity to a limited number of customers (either households, industries, or both) through a distribution network that can operate in isolation from the national transmission networks. The project should contribute to improve the supply of electricity in rural or peri-urban areas with significant benefits to people without access to reliable sources of energy.
Geographical focus: Sub-Saharan Africa
Target project size: between EUR 5 million and EUR 40 million.
Jurisdiction: Projects in adapted regulatory frameworks or that promote the establishment and operation of these systems will be favoured. Specific purpose companies located in tax havens according to Spanish legislation cannot be financed.
Social and Environmental Requirements: The project to be financed must comply with the guidelines on social and environmental matters contained in FONPRODE’s Code of Responsible Financing (CFR), which seeks to meet internationally recognized standards issued by the United Nations, the International Finance Corporation of the World Bank Group and the OECD. No project that affects or may affect the environment or people is eligible for funding. All funded activities will be carried out in accordance with local environmental and social laws and regulations and the IFC Performance Standards. In addition, in the context of the recently launched EU Taxonomy, investment assessments will pay particular attention to these new guidelines as an additional European reference. In the case of projects requiring an exhaustive environmental and social impact assessment, it will be provided as an annex of the concept note.
Technological neutrality: those technological solutions already tested will be eligible.
Duration: The implementation period of a project may not exceed 24 months. The operation period of the project should have a lifespan beyond the duration of the financing provided by Spain.
