Data availability:

The CRS contains flows to all DAC recipient countries. Global and regional figures are based on the sum of ODA and OOF flows to the renewable energy projects. IRENA currently includes data about renewable energy projects in 41 developed countries and 109 developing countries (150 countries overall).

Time series: OECD: annual data from 1960 onwards (see above).

IRENA: annual data from 2000 onwards.

Disaggregation: Data in the CRS contain markers which reflect whether a policy objective is attained through the activity. Measuring gender equality is included in the CRS. Data from the CRS are reported at the project level and can be disaggregated by type of flow (ODA or OOF), by donor, recipient country, type of finance, type of aid (project, agriculture sub-sector, etc.).

Data in IRENA are stored by country (source and recipient) at the project-level, allowing disaggregation of the data in several dimensions. For example, financial flows can be divided by technologies (i.e. bioenergy, geothermal energy, hydropower, marine energy, solar energy, and wind energy) and sub-technologies (e.g. onshore and offshore wind), by geography (both at the country and regional level), by financial instrument and by type of recipient.

Geographical Area: The Republic of Moldova, without the left side of the river Nistru and the municipality of Bender

Unit of Measurement: Million USD, Constant Prices 2023

This table provides metadata for the actual indicator available from Moldovan statistics closest to the corresponding global SDG indicator. Please note that even when the global SDG indicator is fully available, this table should be consulted for information on national methodology and other Moldovan-specific metadata information.

Indicator

Indicator 7.a.1: Value of external financial and technical assistance for energy efficiency development
Indicator information

The OECD flows are calculated by taking the total official flows (ODA and OOF) from DAC member countries, multilateral organisations and other providers of development assistance to the sectors listed above. The IRENA (additional) flows are calculated by taking the total public investment flows from IRENA’s Public Renewable Energy Investment Database and excluding: domestic financial flows; international flows to countries outside developing regions; international flows to multilateral recipients not elsewhere specified; and flows reported by OECD (as described above). The flows are commitments measured in current United States Dollars (USD). Flows are tracked by individual commitment or activity level. When there are duplicate commitments between the OECD and IRENA databases, these are excluded from the IRENA database. The flows are converted to constant USD at a base year that normally has a two-year lag behind the publication year. The computation uses the DAC deflator methodology explained by the OECD on their web site:https://www.oecd.org/en/data/insights/data-explainers/2024/10/resources-for-reporting-development-finance-statistics.html
Definition and concepts
<p>ODA – in line with the international definition DAC ( OECD Development Assistance Committee ) it represents the “flows to countries and territories from the DAC list of ODA beneficiaries and other multilateral institutions which are: (i) supplied by official agents, including by national or local governments or by their executive agencies; and (ii) every transaction is managed with the main objective to promote economic development and wellbeing of developing countries; and it is of concession nature and includes a grant element of at least 25% (calculated at a reduction rate of 10%).</p> <p> Other official financial flows (OOF), Para. 24 - (except for officially supported credits for exports) are defined as transactions made by the official sector which do not meet the eligibility conditions for ODA, either because does not refer first of all to development or because are not sufficiently concessional. </p> <p> Foreign assistance – financial and technical assistance provided to the Republic of Moldova, Government and/or other public authorities by creditors’/donors’ community (art.9 of the GD No. 377 of 25.04.2018 regulating the institutional framework and the mechanism for coordination and management of foreign assistance).</p> <p> Financial assistance (cooperation) – financial support under the form of loans, grants, including delivery of goods and/or provision of works for implementation of projects/programs;</p> <p> Technical assistance (cooperation) – support under the form of transfer of knowledge, including technologies, methodologies and techniques within projects/programs;</p> <p> Platform for managing foreign assistance (AMP) – information automated system accessible online, which is covering and storing the information regarding the projects/programs of foreign assistance in the Republic of Moldova.</p> <p> Energy generation and supply sector is defined in line with the DAC/OECD standards and covers all the sector codes according to the CRS classification from section 230, which includes the following codes on research and development of clean energy area and renewable energy production, including in hybrid systems: 1) 23065 Hydro-power plants - including energy generated by river dams, 2) 23067 Solar energy - including photovoltaic cells, solar thermal applications and solar heating, 3) 23068 Wind energy - wind energy for lifting water and generating electricity, 4) 23069 Wave energy and ocean currents - including conversion of ocean thermal energy, currents and wave energy, 5) 23066 Geothermal energy - use of geothermal energy for generating electricity or directly as heating for agriculture, etc., 6) 23070 Biomass, 7) 23082 Research in energy area </p> <p> International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA): flows covered by IRENA are defined as all the additional loans, grants, and capital investments received from donor countries, multilateral agencies and additional financing institutions (including export credits, if available) for development and research in the area of clean energy and production of renewable energy, including hybrid systems.</p>

Million USD, Constant Prices 2023
Other methodological considerations
<p>The OECD/DAC has been collecting data on official and private resource flows from 1960 at an aggregate level and 1973 at an activity level through the Creditor Reporting System (CRS data are considered complete from 1995 for commitments at an activity level and 2002 for disbursements). Data are reported on an annual calendar year basis by statistical reporters in national administrations (aid agencies, Ministries of Foreign Affairs or Finance, etc).</p> <p></p> <p>IRENA’s data on financial flows from public sources in support of renewable energy are available in IRENA’s Public Renewable Energy Investment Database. IRENA collects these data from a wide range of publicly available sources, including the databases and annual reports of all of the main development finance institutions and 20 other bilateral and multilateral agencies investing in renewable energy. The database is updated annually and (at end-2021) covers public renewable energy investment flowing to 41 developed countries and 109 developing countries, for the period 2000-2020. As new publicly-funded financial institutions start investing in renewable energy, the IRENA database will expand to include these new investors over time.</p>
