European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)
In 2020-2021, in response to the COVID 19 pandemic, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) have committed at least USD 2.59 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 745.90 million for fossil fuels without conditions
- At least USD 170.03 million for fossil fuels with conditions
- At least USD 247.21 million for unconditional clean energy
- At least USD 458.05 million for conditional clean energy
- At least USD 964.93 million for other energy
By energy type, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) committed at least USD 514.78 million to oil and gas (at least USD 379.74 million to unconditional oil and gas and at least USD 135.03 million to conditional oil and gas).
Finally, no public finance identified for multiple fossil fuels.
A considerably larger amount of new public finance from European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) 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 European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is cross cutting and it is quite subjective to disaggregate what projects are or are not recovery related.
