A recent World Bank Group report reviews progress made by the World Bank and the International Finance Corporation, among others, in establishing the business of renewable energy and energy efficiency in emerging markets. The report provides a wealth of information tracking the growth of renewables and energy-efficient technologies over the last two decades.
The World Bank Group's web site on renewable energy for development is even more interesting for those seeking information on innovations in this sector. The site lists several recent case studies of companies in developing countries that have used innovative financing approaches to grow their green energy capabilities and business lines.
