BancoEstado is Chile's largest bank and aims to support Chile's transition to net zero emissions by 2050. It has signed an agreement to be the first public bank committed to Race to Zero. Chile's Energy Savings Insurance (ESI) model, in which BancoEstado participates, aims to improve business productivity and competitiveness through financing energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. The ESI model provides discounted loans, project validation, and insurance to compensate clients if energy savings are lower than projected. Key stakeholders include BancoEstado for financing, Sura and Cesce for providing insurance, and AgenciaSE for project execution and validation. Technologies prioritized include boilers, HVAC, lighting, and solar PV. The process

โข Ensure commercial value of Technical Certification Energy Sustainability Agency when the IDB
budget is exhausted
โข Increase presence of insurance company Sura and Cesce
โข Identify portfolio of Certified Suppliers (developers) that include Energy Savings Insurance in
their products
โข Engage with a specialised consultant to attract potential clients that need to invest in green
projects, provide technical support to companies and developers. Outreach via calls and
meeting
