The International Finance Corporation of the World Bank has launched a consultancy tender for interested firms to conduct a study on Offshore Wind Financing for Emerging Markets. 

The objective of the assignment is to assist the IFC staff (primarily investment, credit, and management) in understanding:

1. Differences between offshore wind and onshore solar/wind/hydro projects in terms of risks, challenges, contractual structures, studies, and financing structures; and 
2. Potential project financing structures for offshore wind in emerging markets and how IFC can best mitigate any associated risks. 

The analysis of current projects will focus on a fixed foundation rather than floating or intertidal/nearshore projects. The analysis of future projects will consider floating, although to a lesser extent than fixed. 

The deadline for the submission of interest is on August 3, 2020.
