Impact thesis
Over 700 million people in Developing Asia lack access to electricity. Nearly 2 billion use traditional biomass for cooking. Energy poverty is most severe among rural communities, many of whom are relying on inefficient, polluting and health-threatening fuel sources for their heating, lighting, cooking, and business needs.
Over the next two decades Developing Asia’s energy demand will nearly double while the region as a whole will be responsible for almost half of all global energy-related emissions. While governments and institutions focus on delivering large-scale countrywide solutions, a new generation of privately owned companies is entering the market to serve the clean energy demand of low-income families, micro businesses, and rural communities.
These companies typically face difficulties financing their early growth. Impact investors focused on access to energy for low-income communities have a unique opportunity to achieve an attractive combination of social and financial returns by financing high-quality clean energy businesses and growing them to a larger scale and higher profile.
Social impact evaluation is conducted on a case-by-case basis, tailor made to the the specific objectives and operating environment of investees. 3 – 5 indicators are defined for each, with monthly reporting to the Fund.
