World Bank Group (WBG)
In 2020-2021, in response to the COVID 19 pandemic, World Bank Group (WBG) have committed at least USD 17.00 billion to supporting energy projects through new loans, grants, and guarantees according to their own reporting and other publicly available information. This public finance includes:
- At least USD 2.07 billion for fossil fuels without conditions
- At least USD 494.00 million for fossil fuels with conditions
- At least USD 4.94 billion for unconditional clean energy
- At least USD 3.00 billion for conditional clean energy
- At least USD 6.50 billion for other energy
By energy type, World Bank Group (WBG) committed at least USD 1.89 billion to oil and gas (at least USD 1.47 billion to unconditional oil and gas and at least USD 419.00 million to conditional oil and gas).
Finally, World Bank Group (WBG) committed at least USD 410.00 million to multiple fossil fuels (at least USD 410.00 million to unconditional multiple fossil fuels).
A considerably larger amount of new public finance from World Bank Group (WBG) that is not at the project level may also benefit different elements of the energy sector, however this finance is not reported on in a way that can be disaggregated and therefore is not included in the database. This finance is largely made up of (a) investments in financial intermediaries (like commercial banks, private equity firms, or other development funds), (b) budgetary or policy support loans that are cross-cutting across many areas of government, (c) technical assistance, and (d) funding for associated infrastructure like ports or roads that will be primarily used for the transport of energy-related goods.
Many of these public finance commitments are part of programs that existed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, however they only represent projects that were approved post-pandemic. Recovery spending via World Bank Group (WBG) is cross cutting and it is quite subjective to disaggregate what projects are or are not recovery related.

Sector(s): Energy Transmission & Distribution - 17%, Non-Renewable Energy Generation - 83%. The project objective is to increase the output and efficiency of power generation and improve the resilience of the power network in support of the government’s program on universal electricity access. Myanmar needs to double its current installed power generation capacity over the next five to seven years to achieve universal electricity access by 2030. The Myanmar Power System Efficiency and Resilience Project will finance the upgrade to the Ywama gas-fired power plant, improving the availability and reliability of electricity services to consumers in the Yangon region. Investments in the power plant and in transmission infrastructure will free-up electricity supply in the rest of the country and will remove capacity constraints to enable more households to connect." | " https://projects.worldbank.org/en/projects-operations/project-detail/P162151 https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/loans-credits/2020/05/29/myanmar-power-system-efficiency-and-resilience-project https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2020/05/29/myanmar-power-system-efficiency-project-brings-country-closer-to-universal-electricity-access https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/international/development-banks/Documents/May_2020_Voting_Record.pdf (see May 29, 2020)" Accessed 15 Jan 2021 |

The Additional Financing will support the construction of a transmission line to evacuate power from the Dasu hydropower plant to Islamabad. The Project will finance the transmission line to complete the first phase of the Dasu hydropower plant that will install 2,160 MW capacity along the main Indus River. Plans for Stage II expansion will double the installed capacity to 4,320MW, making Dasu the largest hydropower plant in the country. The project will facilitate the expansion of electricity supply of hydropower in Pakistan. NOTE: It's possible this project should be marked ""true"" for ""access"" but insufficient information is provided to make that determination. NOTE: IJ Global concurs with the amount of the loan but - as of September 1, 2020 - lists this project as not yet having reached financial close.

Sector(s): Other Energy & Extractives - 51%, Public Administration/Energy & Extractives - 26%, Energy & Transmission - 23%. The credit is to improve the reliability of electricity supply, achieve financial and fiscal sustainability, and enhance accountability in the power sector in Nigeria. About 47% of Nigerians do not have access to grid electricity and those who do have access, face regular power cuts. In addition, the economic cost of power shortages in Nigeria is estimated at around $28 billion - equivalent to 2% of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Getting access to electricity ranks as one of the major constraints for the private sector according to the 2020 Doing Business report. Hence, improving power sector performance, particularly in the non-oil sectors of manufacturing and services, will be central to unlocking economic growth post COVID-19. | " https://projects.worldbank.org/en/projects-operations/project-detail/P164001 https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2020/06/23/nigeria-to-keep-the-lights-on-and-power-its-economy https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/loans-credits/2020/06/23/nigeria-power-sector-recovery-operation https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/international/development-banks/Documents/June_2020_Voting_Record.pdf (see June 23, 2020)" Accessed 15 Jan 2021 |
