INVESTMENT AND BUSINESS PROMOTION

The investment and business promotion program aims at mitigating financial barriers to the investments in small, medium and large-scale renewable energy and energy efficiency projects and businesses in the ECOWAS region. It assists member countries to make use of their individual RE potentials by providing support to develop a technical and economic feasible portfolio of projects and attracts the interest of possible investors and financiers. [To this end, the Centre, in collaboration with financial institutions and other private companies set up investment initiatives for the numerous RE&EE projects identified in the region, among those initiatives are the ECOWAS Renewable Energy Facility (EREF) for small scale RE projects and the ECOWAS Renewable Energy Investment Initiative (EREI) for medium to large scale projects.
