Guarantees demonstrably catalyse private capital mobilisation in emerging markets projects. So why do MDBs use them so sparingly? The problem is institutional incompatibility. In this feature, Clara Oliver-Amorim discusses the limited role of development guarantees in blended finance, despite their historical use and recent reforms by The World Bank Group to simplify and improve access. Challenges like complexity and limited risk coverage are highlighted, along with the success of entities like MIGA and new initiatives aimed at improving guarantee effectiveness for climate projects and local currency financing.

Digital infrastructure leading US project finance activity in 2024 Digital infrastructure is the sector responsible for the greatest volume of US project finance activity so far in 2024. According to Proximo’s data, digital infrastructure has accounted for a significant portion of deals, followed by renewables and oil and gas with substantial amounts of deals, respectively. This trend may shift later in the year as further deals close in other sectors, but it is still a firm indicator of the present demand for project finance debt for digital infrastructure projects. Data centres are the primary driver behind the large volume of digital infrastructure debt raised by borrowers, with data centre deals making up a considerable portion of the total digital infrastructure financings closed. Increased demand for data centre capacity is largely linked to the rapid development of artificial intelligence. Renewables deal flow has already begun to be linked to the surge in data centre financings, given the high energy usage of most data centre projects. According to research by Goldman Sachs, data centres currently consume a small percentage of all power produced globally, but this percentage will likely rise to a higher range by the end of the decade.

Latin American transmission deal volume increases in 2024 Total financing activity for Latin American electricity transmission projects is already higher in the first half of 2024 than in the whole of 2023. According to Proximo data, several deals totaling a significant amount have closed so far in 2024, compared to a slightly higher number of deals with a lower total volume in 2023. Financing volumes for Latin American electricity transmission infrastructure have proved erratic in recent years, rising significantly in 2021 before falling in 2022. The limited capacity of electricity grids is among the greatest obstacles to renewable energy development in a number of Latin American countries. Chile is a notable example, with a substantial percentage of renewable energy production lost due to grid capacity constraints, according to ENGIE. Northern Chile has been particularly affected by these constraints, leading some renewables developers to seek other locations for projects. For example, SOLEK HOLDING CHILE took a deliberate decision to avoid developing projects in the north of Chile as part of its solar portfolio. A major financing for the portfolio reached financial close last year.

European EV charging projects are very slowly attracting more lender appetite. But they are still far from vanilla and the debt is higher priced than other renewables sectors. In the latest feature, Thomas Hopkins discusses the evolution of project financing for consumer EV charging points, noting their historically limited availability but the emergence of more robust and bankable structures. Recent deals, such as the £55 million financing for Be.EV and the €75 million for Electra, illustrate this trend, employing non-recourse debt with mini-perm structures and plans for refinancing post-ramp-up.
