This survey follows up on the"Assessing investments risk in renewable energy" (link) and the "Investor Survey in Sub Saharan Africa" (link) reports, two studies led by RES4Africa and PwC to identify the most prominent risks affecting infrastructure investment for the development of renewable energy in African countries.
Having identified the most common risk affecting private sector investment in power infrastructure in the two previous studies, the current survey aims to identify the most adapted solutions to mitigate those risks. Therefore, this survey presents state-of-the-art solutions and asks participants to rate their potential to improve the business environment. Participants are free to suggest further solutions.
Please answer the following questionnaire for the country or countries you have operated in (i.e. the countries selected on the first page of the survey).

Applicability |
| Within 3 years |
Public authorities can identify a reasonable policy framework which would allow them to implement the solution within less than 3 years. |
| Within 3 to 5 years |
Public authorities can identify a reasonable policy framework which would allow the implementation of the solution within more than 3 years but less than 5 years. |
| More than 5 years or hard to implement |
The solution is hard to implement due to policy incompatibilities or is not aligned with the strategy or regulatory philosophy in the interviewed country. |
