Bürgerenergiefonds Facility for Energy Inclusion - OnGrid (FEI-OnG) Citizens Energy Fund Facility for Energy Inclusion - OnGrid (FEI-OnG) Der On-Grid Facility for Energy Inclusion (FEI-OnG) Fund ist ein Infrastrukturfonds, der von der African Development Bank Group und Lion's Head Global Partners verwaltet wird. Der Fonds hat seinen Sitz in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, und investiert in Afrika. Der Fonds konzentriert sich auf Investitionen in den Bereichen Energie, saubere Technologien und Infrastruktur. Die Beteiligung der FZ am Bürgerenergiefonds FEI-OnG unterstützt die BMZ-Initiative Grüne Bürgerenergie für Afrika, um Gemeinden, Kommunen und Gewerbeeintreibenden in ländlichen Gebieten Afrikas den Zugang zu umweltfreundlicher Energie zu ermöglichen. Das FEI-OnG strebt innerhalb von acht Jahren Finanzierungen i. H. v. 350 Mio. USD für Hersteller, Entwickler und Betreiber mittelgroßer Inselstromnetze und ähnlicher dezentraler Energieerzeugungslösungen an, um klimafreundlichen Strom für Gemeinden, mittelgroße gewerbliche Unternehmen und private Haushalte bereitzustellen. Der Fokus liegt auf bereits wirtschaftlich erfolgreichen Anbietern, die für ihr weiteres Wachstum eigenkapitalähnliche Nachrangdarlehen sowie Fremdkapital benötigen. Der Fonds plant in etwa 15 Projekte zu investieren, um die dezentrale, klimafreundliche Energieerzeugung um 600 MW zu erweitern und den Ausstoß von jährlich rd. 650.000 Tonnen CO2 durch den Ersatz fossiler Brennstoffe wie Kerosin und Diesel zu vermeiden. Da Vorhaben unterstützt die Agenda 2030 für nachhaltige Entwicklung, insbesondere SDG 7 (bezahlbare und saubere Energie) und SDG 13 (Maßnahmen zum Klimaschutz). The Facility for Energy Inclusion On-Grid Fund (FEI-OnG) is an infrastructure debt fund managed by the African Development Bank Group and Lion's Head Global Partners. The Fund is based in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire and invests in Africa. The Fund targets investments in the energy, cleantech, and infrastructure sectors. German Financial Corporation's (FC) participation in the FEI-OnG Citizen Energy Fund supports the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development's (BMZ) 'Green Citizen Energy for Africa' initiative to provide communities, municipalities, and entrepreneurs in rural areas of Africa with access to environmentally friendly energy. FEI-OnG aims to provide USD 350 million over eight years to manufacturers, developers, and operators of medium-scale off-grid power systems and similar decentralised energy generation solutions to provide climate-friendly electricity to communities, medium-scale commercial enterprises and households. The focus will be on commercially successful operators that require equity-like subordinated loans and debt capital for further growth. The fund plans to invest in around 15 projects to expand decentralised, climate-friendly energy generation by 600 MW and avoid the emission of around 650,000 tonnes CO2 per year by replacing fossil fuels such as kerosene and diesel. The project supports the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, in particular SDG 7 (affordable and clean energy) and SDG 13 (climate action).
