Renewable Energy Project Funds

IRENA has issued a call for renewable energy project proposals across Latin America, inviting public and private developers to submit initiatives that may qualify for financing support. According to multiple sources, proposals submitted before 1 March 2026 will receive priority consideration. The call is linked to two financing mechanisms, the Climate Investment Platform and the Energy Transition Accelerator Financing facility, both designed to mobilize capital for clean energy deployment. Eligible technologies include solar, wind, bioenergy and energy storage, with the objective of accelerating project development and supporting national climate and energy transition goals.

Projects must meet specific readiness criteria to qualify. For the Climate Investment Platform, initiatives must have progressed beyond the conceptual stage and completed preliminary or pre feasibility studies, while also aligning with national climate priorities and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The Energy Transition Accelerator Financing platform targets medium and large scale projects that require significant capital investment and have completed full feasibility studies, demonstrated grid connection readiness and established financial structures such as power purchase agreements. The call is open to a wide group of Latin American countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and others, with selected projects gaining potential access to financing instruments, investment partnerships and risk mitigation tools intended to accelerate implementation.
