NDB’s role in financing renewable energy projects The endeavor to implement renewable energy technologies have been facilitated through dedicated credit lines from multilateral agencies such as World Bank through Energy Services Delivery Project (ESDP) which provided an initial support to the sector. This was followed by Renewable Energy for Rural Economic Development (RERED) which was with the objective of promoting the private sector participation in power generation and encouraging provision of access to electricity for rural households. NDB in its development banking operations played a significant role under these schemes by financing several mini hydro power projects and wind power projects.
