EoI for Investors Considering Investments in the Clean Energy Sector in South Asia
Under USAID’s South Asia Regional Energy Partnership (SAREP), CrossBoundary has developed an Investment Facilitation Platform (IFP), a virtual deal hub tailored to connect companies and investors in the clean energy sector across SAREP focus countries. The IFP supports investors in navigating the complex South Asian market by showcasing high-quality transactions that have undergone an initial screening based on the attractiveness of the company, the transaction, and the resulting impact arising from successful closure of the transaction. Investors onboarded to the IFP will be able to access and filter clean energy deals in the region in accordance with their investment criteria.
Ultimately, the platform aims to facilitate transactions not only within the SAREP focus countries (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, and Sri Lanka) but also beyond, extending its impact and reach to the Global South.

The Clean Energy Investment Facilitation Platform is designed to restrict access to a select group of users, with investor connections shared with companies only if there is an expression of interest in the transaction
The Clean Energy Investment Facilitation Platform allows investors to customize search to find deals that are aligned with their investment preferences. The platform allows investors to filter opportunities by instrument type, sector, geography, and more, ensuring that they are able to connect with the most relevant transactions
Transactions on the Clean Energy Investment Facilitation Platform were sourced through an expression of interest (EOI) process that was open to the public and was ​complemented by EOI solicitation through direct outreach to high-quality companies that may be looking to raise capital. ​Subsequently, the EOI applicants were comprehensively evaluated and shortlisted based on three key criteria
- Company attractiveness was assessed by understanding the operational and financial performance of the company, including their revenue, revenue growth, EBITDA and cashflow levels, past fundraising experience, and the management team’s experience. Additionally, project finance transactions were also assessed based on their experience in executing similar projects, the stage of the project and creditworthiness of the counterparty
- Transaction attractiveness was assessed based on the size of the fundraise, the company’s clarity in the end use of funds, target transaction close date, and the company’s desire to attract capital to raise from global investors. Additionally, project finance transactions were assessed on whether developers had equity committed to the project and the project’s ability to service debt
- Impact from the transaction was assessed based on the company or project’s gender impact, impact on low-income communities, potential jobs created, and whether the sub-sector the company was operating in is yet to attract commercial capital at scale
