Technical requirements: GET.invest stimulates investment in renewable energy in partner countries by mobilising the private sector and building a pipeline of viable projects ready for financing. Focusing on decentral renewable energy; GET.invest fills the gap between household energy and utility scale power. GET.invest replaces the former ‘RECP’. GET.invest fills gaps in the landscape of financial instruments for decentral energy: it focuses on the often-neglected decentralised renewables, which are largely underutilised in developing countries, and which are associated with particularly high development benefits (energy access, jobs, GHG emission reductions, local economic and social development) due to their decentralised nature, their proximity to the communities, and their potential to promote productive use.
It creates an otherwise largely missing link between the limited viable investment opportunities at the local level, and the growing number of available financing instruments.
The matchmaking events are a key element of the GET.invest's integrated approach. They are designed to bring together European and partner countries' renewable energy market participants with the objective to foster joint business development and improve access to finance. Currently, the highly competitive and experienced European renewable energy sector has only limited engagement in partner countries' renewable energy markets. This is due to various factors, but in essence this is due to a distinct lack of established local networks, partners and financiers that provide financing products tailored to the specifics of developing markets in partner countries. The matchmaking events are one of GET.invest's contributions to overcoming this lack of access to local business partners and suitable financiers.
In turn, access to European partners that have established international track records and networks, as well as high-levels of know-how and experience can be a decisive factor for partner countries' project proponents in both advancing overall project development as well as attracting necessary levels of financing.
Through the provision of non-commercial matchmaking-events for meeting potential partners the GET.invest provides a platform to address this issue.
The contractor is responsible for preparing, implementing, evaluating and documenting up to 9 matchmaking sessions.
