Are you looking for innovative financing for energy and climate action and other crucial aspects of capacity building, decision making and replication processes? You might be at the right address at PROSPECT+.

By innovative financing schemes, PROSPECT+ refers to non-traditional ways of raising funds and facilitating sustainable energy and climate investments by mixing different sources (own funds, public and private funds) or engaging different partners (e.g., citizens, private sector). These innovative financing schemes include: citizen funding (crowdfunding and cooperatives), energy performance contracting, internal contracting, green bonds, gurantee funds, soft loans, revolving funds, and third party financing.
