Through its Enabling Domestic Green Energy Finance (EDGE Finance) service, GET.invest works with domestic financial institutions to unlock capital for green energy in partner countries.

EDGE Finance’s support is demand-driven, tailored and free of cost. It covers the entire green energy financing value chain, from mobilising funds to allocating them effectively within financial institutions and deploying them into viable projects or companies. By engaging all key business units within financial institutions, it ensures deep and lasting impact.

Delivered over up to nine months through a first-of-its-kind combination of offline and online tools, EDGE Finance’s core activities include:

• EDGE Finance advisory: tailored in-person advisory for senior management, strategy, commercial, credit, risk and legal teams, complemented by online course content and workshops.
• EDGE Finance online trainings: intensive modular trainings on banking-related aspects of renewable energy and energy efficiency.

Through close coordination with the GET.invest Finance Access Advisory service, which supports projects and companies to become investment ready, EDGE Finance leverages synergies through deep market knowledge and cross referrals. In addition, it supports financial institutions to link to different funding and risk management instruments offered by the European Union and international development finance institutions.

EDGE Finance is currently active in Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Kenya, Lesotho, Mozambique, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Uganda and Zimbabwe.
