EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) was established as an agency of the U.S.
government in 1971 and is the U.S. Government’s development finance institution. OPIC is
committed to working with the Administration and the global community to achieve the goals of
Executive Order 13514. OPIC mobilizes foreign capital to help solve critical world challenges
and in doing so, advances U.S. foreign policy. Because OPIC works with the U.S. private sector,
it helps U.S. businesses gain footholds in emerging markets, catalyzing revenues, jobs and
growth opportunities both at home and abroad. OPIC fosters economic development in
emerging and developing countries, complements the private sector in managing risks associated
with foreign direct investment, and supports U.S. foreign policy. OPIC’s history of successfully
engaging the U.S. private sector in overseas investment has positively influenced the
environmental impacts of its projects, by encouraging U.S. companies to incorporate
internationally-recognized environmental sustainability measures into those projects.

OPIC recognizes the importance of this initiative and continues to explore ways to reduce its
own greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and in fulfilling its mission, expand support for projects in
the renewable energy sector. OPIC has prioritized supporting projects and policies that help
emerging and developing countries meet their energy needs in an environmentally responsible
manner. OPIC is a strong supporter of investments in the renewable resources sector,
particularly in renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro, waste-to-energy, biomass), energy
efficiency, clean technology, forestry, water and agriculture. OPIC’s work addressing critical
developmental challenges is increasingly focused on bringing clean and sustainable energy to the
developing world. Since making the renewable resources sector one of OPIC’s top priorities, our
renewable commitments have grown dramatically in recent years. OPIC supports projects which
will reduce carbon emissions, support economic growth and prioritizes projects that advance a
sustainable, low-carbon economy. By partnering with the private sector to support renewable
energy, clean technology and energy efficiency projects, OPIC promotes sustainable economic
growth through investments that seek to have a social and/or environmental return.

Through its appraisal and monitoring process, OPIC ensures that all projects that it supports are
environmentally and socially sustainable, respect the rights of workers and communities, and are
designed and operated in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and good
international practice. OPIC is committed to supporting low or no-carbon economic
development and to making sure that negative impacts are avoided, reduced, restored, or
otherwise mitigated.

Environmental and financial stability are inherently linked. OPIC seeks to promote sustainable
investment that contributes to long term business success, economic and social development, a
healthy environment, and stable societies. By partnering with the private sector and other
governmental agencies, OPIC mobilizes investments to support urgent priorities such as clean
