Zimbabwe has launched the Zimbabwe Renewable Energy Fund (ZimREF) to raise over $100 million in blended finance aimed at renewable energy projects that support sustainable development goals and climate commitments. The Latin American development bank CAF approved a $100 million loan to the Bahamas to support energy sector reforms, including modernizing infrastructure, improving regulatory frameworks, and promoting renewable energy, marking CAF's first sovereign financing to the Bahamas since November 2024. Additionally, CAF approved a $110 million loan to Bolivia for constructing its largest solar power plant, supporting the country's goal to increase renewable energy usage to 75% by 2032.
