Making risk mitigation work for green energy lending and investment:
The AEGF risk-sharing platform rests on three pillars: Munich Re as the re-insurer, with EIB and KfW providing a 2nd loss guarantee to increase Munich Re’s reinsurance capacity. This extra capacity is made available to primary insurers so they can offer lenders and investors AEGF-backed solutions to better address the risks and timelines of green energy projects. The ability to purchase better-adapted and and more cost-effective coverage then gives both lenders and investors the incentive – and the peace of mind – to finance green energy development.
The African Energy Guarantee Facility backs primary insurers with a total re-insurance capacity of 1 billion USD.
