This study proposed a novel approach for conducting the credit risk assessment of financing a small hydropower plant (SHPP) project in Serbia via the failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), which was modified by the Dempster–Shafer Theory (DST). A qualitative analysis of financing the SHPP project was performed to identify and describe the risk events that may cause loan default. To conduct the risk assessment, experts with experience in SHPP project financing in Serbia were required to evaluate the occurrence and severity of the identified risk events and their ability to detect them. Considering the epistemic uncertainty to which they were exposed, the experts assigned multiple ratings and their mass functions according to DST. Thereafter, the proposed FMEA-DST methodology was applied to identify the risk events that required the special attention of credit risk managers. Finally, adequate mitigation strategies that will reduce the credit risk of SHPP project finance in Serbia were proposed for the identified risk events. The research results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed approach as a comprehensive framework, which credit risk managers can employ to evaluate project finance requests.

Purpose: The importance of crowdfunding has grown considerably in recent years. Its potential as a source of financing has captured the attention of academia. In view of the challenge of creating a cleaner energy system and the considerable investments required to reach this goal, the literature has pointed to crowdlending as a viable alternative due to its social qualities. However, the literature on this regard is still scarce. This paper aims to contribute to this gap by examining some of the critical factors that determine the performance of financing renewable energy projects through crowdlending. Design/methodology/approach: The data collected from the ECrowd! platform is studied through fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) as research method. Findings: The results emphasize the importance of the founders’ presence in social networks and the amount of information provided in the description. They also suggest that investors do not react negatively to projects of larger amounts and terms and that giving rewards does not have a significant impact on the campaigns results. Originality/value: The literature linking crowdfunding and sustainability is still scarce, which is why this paper contributes to filling this gap by identifying some of the factors that have a significant impact on the performance of campaigns. Critical conditions used are grouped into three categories: loan characteristics, project description and social capital. Conclusions help promoters and platforms to know what actions they should take in order to enhance their campaigns performance. Propósito: La importancia del crowdfunding ha crecido considerablemente en los últimos años. Su potential como fuente de financiación ha captado la atención del mundo académico. Ante el desafío de crear un sistema energético más limpio y las considerables inversiones necesarias para alcanzar este objetivo, la literatura ha apuntado al crowdlending como una alternativa viable por sus cualidades sociales. Sin embargo, la literatura al respecto aún es escasa. Este documento tiene como objetivo contribuir a esta brecha examinando algunos de los factores críticos que determinan el desempeño de la financiación de proyectos de energía renovable a través del crowdlending. Diseño/metodología/enfoque: Los datos recopilados de la plataforma ECrowd! se estudian utilizando el análisis comparativo cualitativo de conjuntos difusos (fsQCA) como método de investigación. Resultados: Las condiciones críticas utilizadas se agrupan en tres categorías: características del préstamo, descripción del proyecto y redes sociales. Los resultados recalcan la importancia de la presencia de los fundadores en las redes sociales y de la cantidad de información proporcionada en la descripción. También sugieren que los inversores no reaccionan negativamente ante proyectos de mayores importes y plazos y que dar recompensas no tiene un impacto significativo en los resultados de las campañas. Originalidad/valor: La literatura que vincula el crowdfunding y la sostenibilidad es aún escasa, por lo que este trabajo contribuye a llenar este vacío al identificar algunos de los factores que tienen un impacto significativo en el desempeño de las campañas. Las condiciones críticas utilizadas se agrupan en tres categorías: características del préstamo, descripción del proyecto y capital social. Las conclusiones ayudan a los promotores y plataformas a saber qué acciones deben realizar para mejorar el desempeño de sus campañas.

The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has approved two out of three Requests for Proposals (RFPs) submitted by K-Electric (KE) for the addition of renewable energy to its power generation fleet. This is a significant milestone in KE's plan to integrate renewable energy into its operations and contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable energy future. The approved RFPs will involve the installation of solar projects within KE's territory, aligning with the company's commitment to diversify its generation mix with renewable resources. KE's CEO, Moonis Alvi, expressed the importance of these approvals in achieving their goal of incorporating at least 30% renewables into their fleet by 2030. With the necessary regulatory approvals in place, KE is ready to begin the implementation phase promptly and contribute to the national agenda of transitioning towards clean energy resources. Alvi expressed gratitude to NEPRA and other stakeholders for their support and collaboration throughout the approval process. [Extracted from the article]

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted the global economy by disrupting the market mechanism. The impact has been more severe than any other economic crisis in history. Post-pandemic economic recovery is the challenge presently faced by the world economies. The revival needs to address the prevailing challenges of climate change, environmental protection, and inclusive growth. Many national and international organizations have jointly undertaken various initiatives related to climate change mitigation, adaptation and reduction of carbon emissions. Developing renewable energy (RE) sector infrastructure and adopting energy-efficient technologies are the highest-yielding initiatives. The present study explores the role of green investment channelled towards RE projects for the cleaner revival of the Indian economy. It attempts to identify various challenges and drivers of green investment in renewable energy projects. The study proposes a theoretical framework by analyzing the factors and their prospects in reviving and ensuring the green recovery of the economy. The comprehensive literature review shows that the absence of a well-developed capital market, slow technological development, and policy uncertainty are significant barriers (Fuss et al., 2008; Halimanjaya, 2015; Bhatnagar & Sharma, 2021). Development of financial instruments, immediate liquidity infusion and low-cost green energy supply can attract investment in green projects. The study is an addition to the literature on GI in renewable energy projects. The factors identified in the study can be subject to the structural equation modelling for analyzing the impact within the variables. The results can support policy formulation that addresses GI’s challenges in renewable energy projects.
