This activity has been undertaken by the Economic Issues Consultant (EIC).  The aim is to assess local (Fiji) sources of commercial finance for Renewable Energy Service Companies (RESCOs) and potential sources of budgetary support from other government ministries and departments.  In association, compile a database of international sources of finance for Renewable Energy Service Companies (RESCOs) and sources of financial (grant-commercial loans) to support the Department of Energy (DoE) to procure equipment under their SHS implementation program.  The database should ideally include commercial sources of funding multilateral and bilateral donor organizations.   The key recommendations here are developed against the background of an pressing need to identify sources of finance for the DoE in order for them to continue the RESCO program.
