This reflects the EECCA region’s large financial needs to replace or rehabilitate aged and inefficient power plants and transmission infrastructure (IEA, 2015). The financing for energy generation and supply sector amounts to more than 40% of the total climate-related development finance committed to the EECCA countries during that period. This figure is significantly larger than the total committed finance to this sector at the global level (27%). Especially for countries at lower levels of economic development, such as Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, the development of the energy sector is crucial in eradicating poverty and pursuing sustainable development. Further investment in energy infrastructure is also essential to enhance energy security in most of the EECCA countries, especially those that lack large natural resource reserves.
