Abstract：

Green development is one of the essential principles of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Promoting low-carbon transformation of BRI countries’ energy structures is a core element of Greening BRI, and the key to improving the environment of BRI countries, dealing with climate change and supporting global sustainable development. Many BRI countries have excellent sunlight and wind resources, presenting great potential for developing renewable energy. As of now, it is still at early stage for Chinese enterprises' outbound renewable investment in BRI countries, suggesting abundant scaling up opportunities.

This report analyzes some representative cases of renewable energy projects in BRI countries invested by Chinese enterprises and summarizes their financing models. The report also does a comparative study of a few renewable energy investment and financing cases involving international companies, financial institutions and multilateral organizations.
