From fragmentation to bankability: unlocking wind investment at scale

Inconsistent due diligence standards remain one of the biggest barriers to scaling investment in climate-critical infrastructure. Fragmented environmental, social and governance, technical and supply chain assessments slow deals, increase risk premiums and restrict capital flows at the scale required.

This session will introduce a Unified Due Diligence Framework for Bankable Wind Projects, a practical pilot developed with the World Bank, IFC, EBRD and leading industry partners. It brings together fragmented requirements across multilateral development banks and commercial finance institutions into a single, scalable approach designed to accelerate investment readiness for wind energy.

We will explore how standardised due diligence can reduce friction costs, improve transparency and strengthen resilience outcomes, while also enabling faster, more consistent decision-making. Ultimately, the framework aims to unlock greater private capital flows into wind energy and support delivery at the speed and scale the climate transition demands.
