Derisking renewable energy investment / Oliver Waissbein, Yannick Glemarec, Hande Bayraktar  and Tobias. S. Schmidt . New York : UNDP, 2013, 151 p.http://www.undp.org/content/undp/en/home/librarypage/environment-energy/low_emission_climateresilientdevelopment/derisking-renewable-energy-investment/Derisking Renewable Energy Investment introduces an innovative framework to assist policymakers to quantitatively compare the impact of different public instruments to promote renewable energy. The report identifies the need to reduce the high financing costs for renewable energy in developing countries as an important task for policymakers acting today. The framework is structured in four stages:(i) risk environment,(ii) public instruments,(iii) levelised cost and(iv) evaluation.To illustrate how the framework can support decision-making in practice, the report presents findings from illustrative case studies in four developing countries. It then draws on these results to discuss possible directions for enhancing public interventions to scale-up renewable energy investment.&#160;
