Challenges
• Quantifying risks to improve investment decisions
• Short and different investment horizons
• ‘Private sector’ encompasses a broad spectrum of stakeholders
• Market development takes time
Example: Geothermal Power in Indonesia
• World’s largest source of geothermal power (27GW) – less than 5% developed to date
• Risks: Exploration, Regulatory (pricing framework), Governance
• History– 1970: first identification of geothermal resources– 1990: start of development– 2003: Geothermal Law
(setting 6000 MW goal for 2020)– 2011: $145mn geothermal fund for exploration
(de-risking investment)– 2012: Variable FiT
(correcting pricing distortions)
Development of market takes time: example from Mexico
Questions

• What role for the GCF, especially, what level of intervention?
Policies that can be used to promote private sector investments
