The project will assist four intermediary cities in applying to the project preparation facility of the EGIP. From this point, bankable projects can be further developed, and investment by the EGIP leveraged for municipal embedded generation initiatives. The project will entail the following activities:
- Municipal policy analysis and recommendations to enable embedded generation
- Pre-feasibility studies of embedded generation projects
- A financial model for chosen projects
- A Capacity building training programme which will cover the following topics:
- Introduction to climate change
- Just energy transition considerations for urban planning
- Gender mainstreaming in the energy sector
- Embedded energy generation projects for cities
- Introduction to climate finance
- Key requirements for project pre-feasibility studies
- Final report and resource pack of lessons learned
The outputs from this project will further help financiers, municipalities and national entities understand the requirements for intermediary cities to apply for embedded generation funding in the future.
