Diverse Clients Trust IFC as a Power Sector Partner

• Global clients are half our business

We have long-term partnerships with key clients

We have been partnering with renewable energy companies expanding into emerging markets

We help clients access capital at project, holdco and corporate levels and via capital markets

• “Local” clients are becoming regional / global

Local power companies invest in their own country

Local power companies expand into other emerging markets

Local industrials expand into the power sector

Our local clients are becoming a larger share of our business as market reform increases opportunities for private investment in the power sector

• We work with emerging renewable energy companies

We have supported newly started local renewable energy firms, as they begin to build their first projects

• We work with sub-sovereign entities and governments to create vehicles for private participation

IFC Can Efficiently Bring Additional Capital to the Table to Complete a

Financial Plan• IFC can bring the entire financing

package to the table

• Between 2008-2014, we have mobilized over US$ 5.9 billion for power investments from commercial lenders and DFIs

Equity: Asset Management Company:

Can match IFCs own account equity into LP’s, US$ 6.3 billion AUM as of June 2014

Debt: MCPP: US$ 3 billion, can co-

lend up to 75% of IFC investment

Syndication: Parallel or B Loans

• IFC was lead arranger for landmark power transactions, including:

– ChinaWindpower (China) – Wind project finance. US$95 million mobilized in 2010; first wind power deal financed entirely by an international banks in China.

– Eurus (Mexico): Greenfield wind power. US$375 million from 10 lenders committed 2010; first debt-financed private wind project in Mexico. Committed in 2010.

– Enel Wind Brazil (Brazil): US$300 million senior debt package for Enel Green Power’s Brazilian subsidiary, with financing directed at 340MW wind capex program. Committed in 2014.

Page 13: Financing Renewable Energy Projects Belgrade, May 2015.

IFC Can Bring Concessional Financing

• IFC can mobilize concessional funds from donors to support clean energy/renewable energy projects that cannot proceed on fully commercial terms but could help move markets towards commercial viability in the medium term

• Concessional funds are always invested alongside IFC’s own funds and can provide financing on softer terms by offering lower pricing, longer tenor, lower rank or security, depending on project needs

• Since 2010 IFC has provided ~US$150 million in

concessional financing to support power projects such as

CSP in South Africa and Morocco; wind in Mexico; solar

PV in Thailand, Chile and Honduras; and hydro power in

Nepal.

• In deploying concessional finance, IFC seeks to ensure

that the implied subsidy offered through concessional

finance is minimized to reduce market distortion and

prevent windfall returns for all project participants –

sponsors, lenders, contractors, etc.

IFC as Project Co-Developer: IFC InfraVentures

• IFC InfraVentures is a US$150 million fund to provide development capital to infrastructure projects in IDA (low-income) countries (*) and selectively in Middle Income countries, complementing IFC’s efforts to increase the pipeline of bankable infrastructure projects in those countries

• IFC InfraVentures can bring up to US$8 million in cash and “sweat” for projects in early stages of development, in return for an equity option at financial close and the right to arrange the project debt

• IFC InfraVentures will act as co-developer for such projects, adding value by:

experienced staff working proactively alongside the sponsor to bring the project to financial close

supporting the project via its global presence and knowledge of local environments

helping structure the project so that its risks are reduced and it is made bankable, increasing the likelihood that banks and equity investors will invest in the project

• Examples in the wind power sector include:

Development of a 100 MW wind project in Kipeto, Kenya

Development of a 103 MW wind power plant in Serbia

14

IFC View of Local Regulatory Frameworks

• In many energy projects regulation is often the key risk• Countries can offer various incentives (feed-in tariffs, tax credits, etc), establish

renewable targets or create legislation (import duties, local content rules) to encourage the growth of a local renewable industry

• Assessment of stability and predictability of a country’s regulatory framework is a key aspect of project appraisal

• IFC supports competition and fair market access; however, we understand that in the renewables sector, governments play a key role in influencing the market

IFC is a Leading Investor in Emerging Markets Wind

IFC Experience:• >38 investments, 2,600+ MW of capacity• Key transactions in Brazil, Mexico, Bulgaria,

Turkey, Romania, Croatia, China, Sri Lanka, and India

• Projects in new markets/regulatory regimes• Experience with both equity and debt financingIFC Approach:

• Products that optimize leverage, e.g. deferrable subordinated debt that take more wind risk layered on top of senior debt

• Can mobilize concessional financing where appropriate• We understand new regulatory support mechanisms• We can assess and structure for regulatory support risk

17

Why Renewables: Fueling Growth and Combating Climate Change

• Developing countries have a clear need to power economic growth and to improve the quality of life of their citizens (e.g. access to lighting and communications)

• Need to diversify generating sources and where possible, deploy indigenous power rather than using foreign exchange to import fuel

• Climate change and environmental concerns given diminishing resources or reserves of coal, gas and even water

• Wind and other forms of renewable energy pose great opportunities for private investors in emerging markets – if capital can be raised and risks overcome.

18

Page 19: Financing Renewable Energy Projects Belgrade, May 2015.

Key Elements for Successful RE Financing

• Committed and experienced investor/operator/developer Sufficient equity at risk Transparent procurement

• Clear regulatory / contractual framework providing for adequate mechanism of tariff adjustment and/or strong LT PPA from creditworthy utility/client

• Competitiveness of power generation (merit order): key for merchant projects also critical when PPA, to avoid risk of eventual PPA

renegotiation/distribution losses• Confirmation of renewable resource - wind• Construction risk mitigated• Upfront risks assessment by reputable independent parties

(feasibility study/least cost option study, E&S)

Working Across the Value Chain

• IFC finances projects across the value chain (e.g. wind) from upstream equipment manufacturers to downstream power projects

• IFC has expertise in clean tech, manufacturing, services and power investments

• In addition to its investment teams, it has in-house industry experts, as well as Environment & Social and legal staff expertise
