Ashden Award 2019 for Innovative Finance to Beyond the Grid Fund for Zambia (BGFZ)
Ecosoluzioni is exited to announce this prestigious international prize in recognition of the work of formulating and executing the BGFZ. Daniele Guidi is part of the management Team (REEEP) of this programme promoting off-grid energy access in Zambia, and additionally took part in the design of this public-private partnership approach to development finance. Implementing an innovative “public procurement” formula, BGFZ engages private companies in a “result-based financing” scheme. To date, approximately 120.000 solar energy service contracts have been realized and the programme has stimulated circa USD 24 million of additional private investment in the participating companies (June 27, 2019). The REEEP team in cooperation with NEFCO is now extending the approach under a new initiative Beyond the Grid for Africa.
