About ETP
A unique consortium bringing stakeholders into one partnership
To mitigate the global impacts of climate change and deliver on the 2030 Agenda, partnership and
collaboration are critical.
ETP engages in collaborative multi-stakeholder partnerships to combine financial and technical
resources, coordinate ongoing programmes in the region, lead dialogues with energy experts and
expand knowledge to boost leadership and financing for energy transition.
We work with a variety of partners, from
the UN family to governments,
philanthropies, private sector, utilities,
educational institutions, think tanks and
civil society to advance climate action.

ETP Strategic Outcomes
Our work
Aligning EE/RE policies
with climate commitments
We provide high level technical
advisory support to improve RE
and EE policies, regulations and
laws. We work towards aligning
energy policy targets with climate
action commitments.
De-risking EE/RE investments
We aim to unlock large-scale
renewable energy investments by
national and international financial
institutions, while increasing
de-risking of projects and making
them bankable.
Expanding sustainable resilient
infrastructure - smart grids
We provide technical solutions to
expand smart grids, enable
evidence-based planning for
national grid systems, and provide
capacity building for grid
operators.
Knowledge, skills, awareness
and capacity development
We develop platform/s to foster
knowledge . We build technical and
technology expertise through education
programmes and establish state-of-the
art centres of excellence.

Philippines
In the Philippines, ETP is providing technical assistance to the Government to develop results-based vision for energy
transition through a comprehensive and prioritized regulatory matrix.
ETP is responding to three separate Energy Transition Council Rapid Response Facility requests to upgrade ancillary
services, optimize renewable energy in energy mix, and modernize grid technology to achieve NDC and Renewable Energy
targets.
ETP supports coordination among government agencies and arranges the next development partners round table

Roadmap for EE Financing in the Philippines
To map out beneficial activities by which to engage the broader group of
development partners that are also working to address EE financing issues in the
country

6. 6
Framework for the Roadmap on EE Financing: Policy Palette
Source: Dunstan, Langham, and Ison (2009)
Regulations and mandated
activities against which energy
stakeholders must comply with
Financial and other incentives for
favourable consideration of EE
project implementation
Based on information, awareness
raising, capacity and facilitation
initiatives, as well as subsidized
audits and advise and developing
tools and guidance documents

7. 7
Recommended activities for the Roadmap on EE Financing
Market push
➔ Provide support to DOE in the implementation of EE&C Act vis-a-vis
engagement with the finance sector
➔ Identify linkages of the EE&C Act with regulations related to the banking
sector
➔ Include representatives from the finance sector i.e. BSP as members of the
IAEECC
➔ Set clear targets for EE lending by FI's
➔ Establish utility obligation or 'white certificate' scheme

8. 8
Recommended activities for the Roadmap on EE Financing
Market pull
➔ Establish a revolving fund through concessional loan for industrial upgrades,
building upon DBP's E2SAVE Program and supported by pilot projects
➔ Develop a finance scheme that would reduce the upfront cost of efficient
appliances i.e. on-bill financing model in cooperation with utilities and
financed by commercial lenders
➔ Provide de-risking instruments such as first loss guarantee for ESCOs,
crowd-in funding for commercial finance, and energy savings insurance
➔ Explore the potential for Super ESCOs

9. 9
Recommended activities for the Roadmap on EE Financing
Market lift
➔ Create a program targeted towards FI’s top management to be better
informed on EE financing scheme and manage their perception of its risks
➔ Create a local network of EE project development professionals by supporting
FI training on EE project development and financing to build their confidence
on EE projects

10. 10
Timeline of implementation
Short term (3-6 months)
Support BSP to articulate its EE
finance objectives
Facilitate BSP joining the IAEECC and
support the Committee's finance
goals
Support FI training on EE project
development and financing (energy
auditing, monitoring and verification,
energy management, other training)
Host meetings for both awareness
and cross-sector business matching
Medium Term (6-12 months)
Develop a revolving fund with
concessional finance and
underpinned by public demonstration
projects
Pursue on-bill financing programmes
with selected utilities and banks
Longer term (12 months+)
Support for utility obligation and 'white
certificate' schemes
Explore potential for a public
super-ESCO
Develop an energy savings insurance
product (with a local insurance
counterparty)
IAEECC - Inter-agency Energy Efficiency and
Conservation Committee
