9. BANK OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS (BPI) - SUSTAINABLE
ENERGY FINANCE PROGRAM
Snapshot:
• In 2009, IFC supported the establishment of a risk-sharing facility (RSF) covering a portfolio of PHP 5
billion (approximately $106 million).
• The RSF transferred to IFC a portion of the risk associated with BPI’s EE and RE loans, thereby
allowing BPI to build upon a successful track record, develop a client base, and assess the risks of their
new financial products.
IFC Support:
• At its peak, the RSF had enrolled EE and RE loans amounting to $82 million.
• BPI was able to amplify its investment in sustainable energy because IFC assumed 50 percent of the
RSF’s risk.
• IFC also diversified its risk assumption, receiving support from the Global Environment Facility (GEF)
and the Clean Technology Fund (CTF). This blended finance allowed IFC to leverage a diverse portfolio
of funds to assume first losses.
• Outside of the facility, which only covered loans that met pre-agreed eligibility criteria, and through the
help of IFC advisory services, BPI built an SEF portfolio amounting to $706 million for 184 projects.
Impact:
• The RSF broadened BPI’s capacity to distribute loans without assuming more burden than they were
capable of, and unlocked capital for EE and RE projects in need of financing, such as hydroelectric
power plants, wind farms, biomass projects, and ESCOs.
• Reduced GHG emissions have totaled 1.9 million tons since 2009.
10. COMMERCIALIZING SUSTAINABLE ENERGY FINANCE (CSEF) - TURKEY
• Turkey moved towards a more energy efficient economy by prioritizing EE financing in its US$250 million
investment plan under the Clean Technology Fund (CTF).
• One of the first initiatives developed under Turkey’s CTF plan was IFC’s Commercializing Sustainable
Energy Finance Program (CSEF), financed with roughly US$21 million of CTF funds “blended” with almost
US$100 million of IFC’s own funds, with phase 1 starting in 2010.
• IFC provided ‘blended’ concessional loans to three Turkish leasing companies for the express purpose
of sustainable energy financing for projects and equipment that met specific parameters (i.e. projects
must reduce absolute energy consumption by at least 15%)
• The leasing company would then market EE financing to its current and prospective customers,
predominantly SMEs
• Once a customer decided to acquire EE equipment, the leasing company would purchase the
equipment using CSEF funds and provide the equipment through a lease to the customer
