Financing for scale and impact: insights from the GET.invest Results Deck 2025
Mobilising investment at scale remains one of the central challenges of the global energy transition. While capital is available, many projects struggle to reach investment readiness, and risks (real or perceived) continue to limit the flow of finance into emerging markets. Bridging this gap requires not only funding, but targeted support to develop, structure and de-risk projects.
The latest edition of the GET.invest Results Deck offers practical insights into how this can be addressed. With a ten-year track record, the programme has supported more than 650 companies and projects across over 50 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific. As of December 2025, 138 projects have reached financial close, mobilising approximately EUR 570 million in investment. At the same time, an active portfolio of more than 270 clients represents a significantly larger pipeline of potential future investment.
These figures reflect a core lesson: scaling investment is not only about increasing volumes, but about strengthening the quality of projects and the conditions under which they can attract finance. This includes early-stage project preparation, financial structuring, and addressing barriers related to regulation, counterparties or market conditions.
The Deck highlights how these approaches translate into concrete results across different contexts. On the one hand, GET.invest supports bigger infrastructure projects, such as the Hirundo wind project in Lesotho or a large-scale green hydrogen fertiliser in Uganda. On the other hand, the programme continues to work with smaller and earlier-stage companies, contributing to market development and expanding the pool of investable opportunities. This combination is essential for delivering both scale and impacts – large projects mobilise significant volumes of capital and strengthen energy systems, while smaller and decentralised solutions play a key role in reaching underserved markets and building sustainable energy ecosystems.
As discussions on financing for scale and impact continue, including at events such as the ARE Energy Access Investment Forum 2026, the experience reflected in the GET.invest Results Deck underlines the importance of investment enablement. Strengthening pipelines, reducing risks and connecting projects with appropriate financing remain critical to unlocking the full potential of sustainable energy investments.
