of its Project Navigator tool, intended to give renewable energy project developers
including hydropower the knowledge, tools, case studies and best practices to
According to IRENA, the Project Navigator walks developers through the process
from initial idea to implementation, helping to create a comprehensive and bankable
project proposal. Te Financial Navigator section allows users to search for funding
by renewable energy type and region, drawing from a database of funds available for
project fnancing.
Tis tool helps project developers overcome the barriers inherent in starting projects
and, in doing so, facilitates the deployment of more renewable energy worldwide.
It works on the basis of flled out templates, with users being made aware of what
information the template should include and what the diferent questions mean
Te resulting data can be stored in any Microsoft Ofce application format and/
or downloaded for any further processing to turn the gathered information into a
