Estimated bilateral spend each year since 2010 on programmes that help develop renewable energy was:

Year

Net ODA (£)

2010/11

421,185

2011/12

5,753,369

2012/13

18,286,309

2013/14

38,969,172

2014/15

116,904,503

2015/16

72,134,609

Total

252,469,1487

This does not capture relevant spend through multilateral funds, including the UK’s contributions to Multilateral Development Banks and climate specific funds such as the Climate Investment Funds, where there are significant renewable energy components.
