Facilitating Project Financing & Sustainable Investment
Advancing decarbonization and clean-energy infrastructure requires significant capital investment and long-term partnership. GEM works with ports, electric utilities, and community stakeholders to structure and secure the financing needed to design, develop, and sustain clean-energy projects across the Caribbean. Through an extensive network of financial institutions, development partners, and private investors, GEM enables access to grants, loans, and investment capital tailored to the specific requirements of each project.
Projects may be financed directly by GEM or delivered through Public-Private Partnership (PPP) structures, where ports, electric utilities, or public entities elect to contribute capital alongside GEM. Financing is typically structured through a local Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), with equity allocated proportionately based on each party’s financial and operational contributions, including cash and appropriately valued in-kind inputs. This flexible structure allows capital arrangements to adapt to the final funding mix secured through GEM’s investment and banking relationships, ensuring transparent governance, balanced risk-sharing, and long-term financial sustainability.
