GET.invest is a leading European programme that mobilises investment in clean energy, closing the gap between finance demand and supply. Since 2016, we have supported over 600 projects and companies on their journey to financial close – driving energy market development and unlocking partnerships and investment.

Through tailored advisory services, we empower clean energy project and business developers. At the same time, our collaborative approach creates opportunities for financiers and partners to engage in impactful, bankable ventures. We advise on the full spectrum of clean energy initiatives – from smaller, innovative ventures to utility-scale infrastructure projects.

In addition, we provide information and data solutions, work with industry associations to add value to the market including through events and matchmaking, and support domestic capital providers in financing clean energy projects. Delivered in cooperation with a broad network of partners, GET.invest forms part of a wider ecosystem of solutions.

Since 2022, we power the Team Europe One Stop Shop for Green Energy Investments – a single-entry point for green energy projects and companies to access support and financing under the Global Gateway strategy of the European Union.

GET.invest currently operates across sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific.

We offer a range of services throughout the project development cycle to connect clients with financiers and accelerate the scale and pace of investments in clean energy.

Finance Access Advisory

Our core service, Finance Access Advisory, addresses the demand side of energy finance. We support project developers and companies in preparing bankable, finance-ready investments. This helps developers secure the funding they need while giving financiers access to well-prepared investment propositions they can confidently invest in.

EDGE Finance

On the supply side, we collaborate with domestic financial institutions. Boosting local currency financing reduces exchange rate risks and enables lending under more favourable terms. Through our dedicated service EDGE Finance, we provide demand-driven, tailored trainings and coaching to equip the domestic financial sector with the tools and expertise to support green energy lending

Mobilisation

To mobilise private sector participation and build robust energy markets, we work closely with major industry associations in a win-win approach that adds value to their members. Activities include events and matchmaking sessions alongside major conferences that create valuable opportunities for networking, knowledge exchange, and partnership-building.

Information and data

Reliable information is key to unlocking investments.

• Our Funding Database for clean energy projects and businesses is continuously updated, helping users navigate the complex landscape of funding sources using intuitive filters.
• In our Resource Centre, we curate knowledge and insights developed in collaboration with our partners to provide a clear view of market dynamics.
• Together with the Access to Energy Institute A2EI, we are pioneering Prospect – a fully customisable, open-source data platform designed for the aggregation, validation, and verification of energy access data.

GET.invest aims to mobilise private investment and generally boost market development for clean energy and energy access in partner countries. We work to increase the number of viable energy companies and projects by connecting them to the most suitable sources of international and domestic finance. By reducing transaction costs and barriers to entry, we accelerate the scale and speed of clean energy investments.

In doing so, we contribute to climate and development goals, expand access to reliable and affordable energy for all consumer segments, and unlock new opportunities for investment, partnerships and trade. Find out more in our results and stories section.

GET.invest runs on the platform of the Global Energy Transformation Programme (GET.pro) that is implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ).

Since 2016, several European donors have helped build and deploy GET.invest and its predecessor to mobilise investment in clean energy markets in developing countries. GET.invest is currently co-funded by the European Union, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, and the Austrian Development Agency.
