The chapter describes the main existing institutional arrangements in place and shows that the country's legal framework is conducive to private sector RE initiatives. Chapter three discusses the fundamentals of project finance, the basic components of financial analysis, and common due diligence factors concerning RE investments. This discussion provides a framework for a better understanding of RE financing, which from a banker's point of view requires a different approach than the more traditional balance sheet-focused financing. Chapters 4 through 8 go over each of the most common RE technologies: chapter four: Hydropower; chapter five: biomass; chapter six: biogas; chapter seven: solar PV; and chapter eight: wind. Each of the chapters discusses both the basic technical and financial aspects of the technologies. Each chapter will provide the reader with a basic understanding of the technology in question and the associated financial challenges. In the chapters on hydropower (chapter four) and biomass (chapter five), a financial 'back-of-the-envelope' model is included as well.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO MODERN ENERGYACCOUNTINGALTERNATIVE ENERGYAMOUNT OF POWERAPPROACHARBITRATIONASSET CLASSESAVAILABILITYBALANCEBALANCE SHEETBALANCE SHEETSBANK POLICIESBANK POLICYBANKING PRACTICESBED COMBUSTORBIOGASBIOLOGICAL OXYGEN DEMANDBIOMASSBUDGETINGCAPACITY BUILDINGCAPACITY FACTORCAPITAL INVESTMENTCARBON DIOXIDECARBON FINANCECASH FLOWCASH INFLOWSCASH RESERVECLEAN ENERGYCLIMATE CHANGECOGENERATIONCOLLATERALCOMMERCIAL BANKINGCOMMERCIAL BANKSCOMMERCIAL TERMSCONSTRUCTION COSTCONSUMER PRICE INDEXCONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONSCOST OF ENERGYCOST OF FEEDSTOCKCOST PER KILOWATTCOUNTRY RISKCREDIT GUARANTEECREDIT LINECREDIT LINESCREDIT POLICIESCREDIT RISKCREDITORSCURRENCYDEBTDEBT CONTRACTDEBT FINANCINGDEBT SERVICEDEBT SERVICESDEBT SERVICINGDEBT-EQUITYDEVELOPMENT BANKDEVELOPMENT FINANCEDIESELDISBURSEMENTDISBURSEMENTSDISPUTE RESOLUTIONDISTRIBUTION NETWORKDUE DILIGENCEECONOMIC RISKSELECTRIC POWERELECTRIC SUPPLYELECTRICITYELECTRICITY GENERATIONELECTRICITY SALESELECTRIFICATIONEMISSIONEMISSIONSEMISSIONS REDUCTIONSENABLING ENVIRONMENTENERGY DEVELOPMENTENERGY EFFICIENCYENERGY GENERATIONENERGY MARKETSENERGY OUTPUTENERGY PLANNINGENERGY PRODUCTIONENERGY SOURCESEQUIPMENTEQUITY CONTRIBUTIONSEQUITY FUNDSEQUITY INVESTMENTEQUITY INVESTMENTSESCROWEXCHANGE RATEEXCHANGE RATESEXPENDITUREEXPENDITURESEXTERNAL DEBTFEEDSTOCK AVAILABILITYFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL RISKSFIXED ASSETFIXED ASSETSFIXED INTERESTFIXED INTEREST RATEFLOOR PRICEFOSSILFOSSIL FUELSFUELFUTURE CASH FLOWSGENERATING CAPACITYGRACE PERIODGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSGRID CONNECTIONGRID ELECTRICITYGRID EXTENSIONHEATHYDRO-POWERHYDROELECTRIC PLANTHYDROELECTRIC PLANTSHYDROPOWERINCOME TAXINDEBTEDNESSINFLATIONINFLATION RATESINFLATIONARY PRESSUREINFORMATION DISSEMINATIONINSURANCEINSURANCE POLICIESINTANGIBLEINTANGIBLE ASSETSINTEREST PAYMENTINTEREST RATEINTEREST RATE SPREADINTEREST RATE VOLATILITYINTEREST RATESINTERNAL RATE OF RETURNINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL DEBATEINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTINTERNATIONAL FINANCEINVESTMENT BANKINVESTMENT FUNDSKILOWATT HOURKINETIC ENERGYLACK OF COLLATERALLAND TITLELEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGAL FRAMEWORKSLENDERLENDERSLIABILITYLOANLOAN AGREEMENTLOAN APPLICATIONSLOAN OFFICERSLOCAL FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLONG-TERM LOANSMACROECONOMIC VARIABLESMARKET CONDITIONSMARKET DEVELOPMENTMARKET MECHANISMMARKET RISKMARKET VALUEMETHANEMICROFINANCEMICROFINANCE INSTITUTIONOXYGENPAYMENT OBLIGATIONSPAYMENT OF INTERESTPIPELINEPOLITICAL RISKPOWER GENERATIONPOWER GENERATION CAPACITYPOWER MIXPOWER PRODUCERPOWER PRODUCERSPOWER PROJECTPOWER PURCHASE AGREEMENTSPOWER STATIONPRINCIPAL PAYMENTPRINCIPAL PAYMENTSPRIVATE INVESTMENTSPURCHASE OF ELECTRICITYREGULATORY AUTHORITYREGULATORY FRAMEWORKRENEWABLE ENERGYRENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENTRENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTSRENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCESRENEWABLE POWERREPAYMENTREPAYMENT CAPACITYRESERVERESERVESRETAIL CUSTOMERSRETURNSRISK FACTORSRISK PREMIUMSRURAL ENERGYSAFE INTERCONNECTIONSANDSHAFT POWERSHORT-TERM GOVERNMENT SECURITIESSMALL POWER PRODUCERSSOLAR ENERGYSOLAR HOME SYSTEMSSOLAR PROJECTSSUSTAINABLE ENERGYTAXTAX PAYMENTSTAX RATETHERMAL PLANTSTONS OF CARBONTOTAL DEBTTRANSMISSION LINETRANSMISSION LINESTRANSMISSION LOSSESTRANSMISSION SYSTEMTREASURYTREASURY BILLTREATIESTRUST FUNDTURBINETURBINE GENERATORTURBINE GENERATORSUTILITIESVALUE OF ENERGYWINDWIND FARMSWIND POWERWIND SPEEDWIND TECHNOLOGYWORKING CAPITAL10.1596/17645
