Enerthia for Funders.
Origination-ready renewable energy deal flow — pre-screened, structured, delivered to your panel.
PRE-SCREENED PIPELINE · STRUCTURED COMMERCIAL TERMS · 55-EPC NETWORK · FUNDER-NEUTRAL ORIGINATION
Enerthia Energy operates across the renewable energy value chain through four offerings — energy consultancy, business development, product and service endorsement, and funding origination. For funders, the offering that matters is funding origination.
We bring funders, investors, and financial institutions a pre-screened, origination-ready pipeline of bankable solar, battery storage, and renewable energy projects — drawn from a growing 55-EPC network across South Africa, the African continent, and Indian Ocean island markets. We filter out non-bankable deals before they consume credit committee cycles.

WHERE OUR COMMERCIAL VALUE SITS
We are not an EPC contractor. We originate, prepare, translate, and adapt.
The pipeline.
We source, qualify, and bring forward renewable energy projects that meet bankability thresholds — drawing on a 55-EPC network and direct offtaker relationships across multiple jurisdictions.
The preparation.
Every project arrives with a complete submission pack, preliminary financial assessment already completed, and the offtaker briefed on what funders need to see.
The translation.
We translate between funder commercial language and offtaker commercial language — converting term sheets, conditions precedent, and credit requirements into formats offtakers can decide on.
The flexibility.
Full origination route or introducing-party route. Both routes are commercially structured and protected — commission terms vary per route.
WHAT ENERTHIA IS — AND IS NOT
Clear boundaries protect funders. The funder remains the decision-maker on credit, risk, and pricing.
What Enerthia is
- The funding origination partner — part of a full suite of offerings
- The structuring partner between offtakers, EPCs, and funders
- A funder-neutral channel — no equity in EPCs, not tied to any single funder
- Aligned to closing the right deal — not to any outcome that disadvantages funders or offtakers
What Enerthia is not
- Not the credit committee — we do not take credit risk
- We do not warrant offtaker creditworthiness, project performance, or funding outcomes
- We have no authority to bind any funder commercially — the funder owns every decision
HOW A PROJECT MOVES FROM ORIGINATION TO FINANCIAL CLOSE
Time-stamped registration. Contracted response window. Direct funder–offtaker engagement encouraged.
Project registration.
Enerthia introduces a qualifying project in writing with a Project Registration Form. Registration time-stamps the lead and confirms origination interest.
Funder acknowledgement.
Funder acknowledges within five business days. Conflicts only stand where the funder has documented prior engagement on the same specific project.
Submission pack.
On full origination route, Enerthia delivers the complete pack. On introducing-party route, EPC and offtaker deliver the pack directly to the funder.
Contracted response window.
Funders on the Enerthia panel commit, by contract, to a defined response window for delivering a written funding proposal — structure, indicative pricing, term, and conditions precedent. Materially shorter than typical direct EPC-to-funder turnaround. Specifics set out in the Channel Partner Funder Agreement.
Funder engagement.
Direct engagement between funder, offtaker, and EPC for technical due diligence, credit assessment, term sheet negotiation, and conditions precedent.
Financial close.
All conditions precedent satisfied, funding committed and available for drawdown, binding offtaker agreement executed. Commission earned and payable per agreed schedule.
TWO ORIGINATION ROUTES
Selected per project. Both are commercially structured and protected.
Full origination route.
Enerthia leads end-to-end — funder relationship, project preparation, submission pack, term sheet negotiation support, and route to financial close. Pre-screening discipline applied throughout: you only see projects we believe are fundable.
Introducing-party route.
Enerthia introduces the project, then steps back. Funder deals directly with the EPC and offtaker; submission pack delivered directly; funder runs its own credit and structuring process. Enerthia’s commission entitlement preserved.
A funder partnered with Enerthia gains exposure to the deal flow of every EPC in the network. Volume that justifies a structured panel relationship — without the overhead of building 55 EPC relationships directly.
WHAT GETS ROUTED TO YOU
The funder selects the segments and structures aligned to their mandate. We route accordingly.
Sectors.
Commercial & industrial · agricultural · utility-scale · embedded generation · wheeled and virtual PPA structures (where CAPEX funding is required for the generation asset).
Funding structures.
PPAs (on- and off-balance sheet) · instalment sale (Section 12B-aligned) · operating lease · hybrid · rent-to-own · structured finance · SPV equity participation.
Project sizes.
R1m to R500m — covering rooftop, ground-mount, carport, and BESS installations, including CAPEX for the structures on which solar is installed. From single-site commercial through mid-market portfolios to utility-scale IPP and aggregated portfolios.
WHY ENERTHIA — IN FUNDER TERMS
Funders evaluating origination partners ask the same questions in different words. We answer them directly.
Pre-screening discipline.
On full origination engagements, you only see projects we believe are fundable. On introducing-party engagements, you receive the lead and run your own assessment.
Origination team experience.
Our people have operated inside South Africa’s major funding institutions and within scale EPCs. We know how credit committees decide and how projects get built.
No conflicting incentives.
No equity in EPCs. No EPC margin. Not tied to a competing funder.
Long-term orientation.
Motivated by deal quality and closing rates — not transaction volume alone.
COMMERCIAL FRAMEWORK
The Channel Partner Funder Agreement governs the framework.
Commercial arrangements.
Commission and commercial terms are negotiated funder by funder and confirmed in the executed Channel Partner Funder Agreement. Specifics are not published — they are settled in the agreement.
Lead protection.
Every project Enerthia introduces is registered, time-stamped, and protected for a 24-month Non-Circumvention Period. Project-specific, not relationship-wide.
Funder decides.
Nothing in the partnership obliges the funder to fund any project. Decline with written reasons is expected and accepted. Funds-everything is not credit discipline.
Confidentiality.
Each funder relationship independently maintained. Funder-side information held in strict confidence and not shared between panel members. Contractually segregated.
PATH TO THE PANEL
Five sequential steps from interested to signed. Each step has a clear purpose.
Mutual NDA.
Execute the Enerthia Mutual NDA. Protects commercial information shared during the rest of onboarding.
Mandate brief.
Short written mandate brief from the funder — sectors, ticket size, geography, preferred structures, internal credit criteria.
Channel Partner Agreement.
Review, negotiate where required, and execute the Channel Partner Funder Agreement. The operative legal framework.
Commercial confirmation.
Applicable commission rate, payment terms, post-termination tail, and any sector-specific variations confirmed in the executed agreement.
First project registration.
Enerthia begins routing matching projects from the existing pipeline.
Indicative commercial terms and the operative legal framework are shared on request once an NDA is in place. Specifics — including response windows, commission structure, and route-by-route variations — are governed by the Channel Partner Funder Agreement.
