In many Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) member countries, an increasing number of PPP infrastructure projects are being jointly financed by conventional and Islamic banks. While these projects bring together conventional and Islamic tranches, one frequently asked question is: how are these two financing classes integrated in a single project?

The World Bank Group partnered with the cities of Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte to support their long-term strategies to build low-carbon cities, conducting a study in each city to examine the viability of investments in energy efficiency in the public street lighting sector. These studies looked at the existing institutional and regulatory arrangements and identified opportunities for both public and private investments for the modernization of public street lighting.

This guidebook is focused on the appraisal of power-transmission-line investments to facilitate regional electricity trade. While the economic appraisal is largely independent of the specific institutional arrangements for implementing projects, the financial analysis necessarily depends upon the institutional arrangements to deliver the interconnection project. A bankable investment project requires a power purchase agreement (PPA), whose tariff schedules need to be informed by the financial analysis.

The objective of the project is collecting information about regulatory schemes applied in the Member States to electricity and gas distribution, identifying best practices and developing recommendation for the Commission on desirable features of distribution tariff regulation, in the light of the foreseeable changes in the distribution business.

This paper documents lessons learned during the implementation of two loans: (i) the Renewable Energy Development Sector Project , and (ii) the Power Transmission Improvement Sector Project . These loans were implemented by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) starting in 2002 to develop stronger and more sustainable power supplies in Indonesia, with a particular focus on outer islands in eastern Indonesia, and to encourage greater incorporation of renewable energy into Indonesia’s national power supply.

Indonesia, as one of the biggest coal producers in the world, is facing an issue with electricity. Currently the installed capacity is only able to fulfill 86.39% of electricity demand, lower than Singapore, Brunei, Thailand; Malaysia, and Vietnam. With the aim of achieving upper middle income country status by 2025, Indonesia must shift its focus from consumption to be more productive by encouraging industrialization. Aligned with this goal, electricity becomes a crucial too as an economic growth engine.

In the last few years, IFC has prioritized an approach to creating bankable private sector infrastructure opportunities that we call “Scaling”—focusing not on single asset development, but on a holistic approach that creates a pipeline of infrastructure projects.

The essence of the Scaling approach is to develop a robust public-private partnership (PPP) model for a single deal and then replicate it. This spreads costs, enhances impact, and encourages programmatic, competitive tendering, with faster delivery and lower prices—genuinely creating new markets.

Since 2009 Norwegian International Climate and Forest Initiative (NICFI) has supported Guyana's efforts for protecting its rainforest from exploitation and degradation and for changing its currently oil fuelled electricity sector to emission-free power generation.

The Electricity Act, 2003 aimed to bring in a paradigm shift in the functioning of the power sector, distancing the sector from direct government control, corporatizing the sector and bringing it under the control of independent regulators. While generation was completely delicensed, transmission and distribution became licensed business. The Regulatory Reforms aimed at making the sector sustainable through introduction of competition, encouraging efficiency and economy, tariff rationalization and balancing the needs of consumers as well as industry.
