The United Arab Emirates and the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) today announced the Energy Transition Accelerator Financing (ETAF)<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0Platform, a new global climate finance facility to accelerate the transition to renewable energy in developing countries.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The UAE committed USD 400 million in funding provided by the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD) toward the platform\u2019s goal of securing a minimum of USD 1 billion in total funding.<\/p>\n

The formal launch took place on the sidelines of the COP 26 United Nations Climate Summit in Glasgow in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed al Nahyan, UAE Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, together with the Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda Mr. Gaston Browne, President of the Maldives Mr. Ibrahim Mohamed Solih and President of Togo, Mr. Faure Gnassingb\u00e9, and UAE Climate Envoy Dr. Sultan Al Jaber.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

His Highness Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan said: \u201cThe new ETAF platform reinforces our long-standing commitment to support positive climate action for economic growth in developing and vulnerable countries. As one of the countries that have\u00a0signed the UN framework convention on climate change, the UAE fundamentally believes we must work together globally to address climate change. The UAE is proud to act decisively in pushing forward a responsible, sustainability-led agenda, and in partnering with other nations to enable the significant benefits of renewable energy.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

HE Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, UAE Special Envoy for Climate and Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, said: \u201cThe UAE views development aid and climate action as powerful catalysts for economic growth, both domestically and internationally. Today\u2019s announcement will help to advance the economies of partner countries by providing reliable, low-cost renewable energy for businesses, industry, and homes. We are proud of this significant new contribution by the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development to accelerate climate action and deliver immediate economic benefits in the process. This is the kind of initiative that combines partnership, policy, and finance to create tangible progress, and it is this focus on practical results that has motivated the UAE to offer to host COP 28 in 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through co-financing, ETAF will aim to mobilise an additional USD 2 billion in energy transition investments, targeting a total deployment of 1.5 GW of clean renewable energy generation and storage by 2030. ETAF will be managed by IRENA from its Abu Dhabi headquarters, capitalising on the UAE\u2019s climate finance market and renewable energy innovation infrastructure. The new accelerator platform will help mitigate investment risks and finance renewable energy projects in developing countries that may otherwise struggle to secure sufficient capital.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Francesco La Camera, the Director-General of IRENA, said: \u201cWe have reached a defining moment in our generation\u2019s efforts to put our economies and our environment on a path to stability, resilience and shared prosperity. The energy transformation is the most attractive and effective tool we have to achieve that. This new investment platform reflects the UAE\u2019s commitment to shaping a sustainable future, and IRENA\u2019s efforts to serve its over 180 member countries as an indispensable energy transformation partner. We encourage multilateral development banks, international financial institutions, governments, and private sector actors to join us in bolstering sustainable development efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new UAE-IRENA partnership to establish the ETAF platform builds on the long-term collaboration between IRENA and ADFD, which includes seven cycles of the USD 350 million IRENA-ADFD Project Facility. Between 2013 and 2020, the facility financed 26 projects in Asia, Africa, and the Americas, notably including Small Island Developing States.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

In total to date, ADFD has worked with a number of clean energy partners and governments in 65 countries to support the development of 90 renewable energy projects that have the capacity to generate more than 9,000 megawatts of electricity. With the new ETAF contribution, ADFD\u2019s total financing for renewable energy projects now stands at USD 1.8 billion.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

His Excellency Mohammed Saif Al Suwaidi, Director-General of ADFD, said: \u201cIRENA and ADFD have an excellent track record working together on the development of major renewable energy projects in developing markets. These projects have significant environmental, economic and social impact that is transformational for countries and their people. Through this new platform, we seek to bring together finance and development partners from around the world under a shared vision to combat climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n

His Excellency Al Suwaidi added: \u201cGiven the essential role that renewable energy projects play in achieving sustainable development for developing countries, ADFD has committed to allocating USD 400 million until 2030 to enable accelerated deployment. These projects will have a great impact on local communities, helping beneficiary countries to achieve greater economic and social development.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ETAF platform will source projects on an ongoing basis, supplemented by calls for proposals aligned with Paris Agreement and SDG milestones. Investment-ready projects identified under IRENA\u2019s existing\u00a0Climate Investment Platform<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0will also represent a notable pipeline.<\/p>\n
