Funding Origination
Matching the right project to the right capital — up to R500 million, across debt and equity structures.
ORIGINATE · STRUCTURE · TRANSLATE · CLOSE
We originate funding for renewable energy projects valued up to R500 million, drawing on a panel of 32 funders and investors and direct relationships with South Africa’s major banks. Our structures cover both debt-style arrangements — instalment sale, PPA, lease, and bank-funded structures — and equity-style investment for project SPVs where an investor-participation model fits.
What sets our origination apart is that we don’t hand offtakers ten funding options and leave them to decide. We sit with the offtaker, understand their operations and their plans, and present one or two well-fitted options — not a catalogue. That shortens the decision cycle, prevents the analysis paralysis that stalls deal flow, and produces outcomes parties can commit to with conviction.

WHAT WE STRUCTURE
One project, the right structure — drawn from our funder panel and banking relationships.
Power Purchase Agreements
On- and off-balance-sheet PPAs that fund the system through the energy it generates, with no upfront capital outlay from the offtaker.
Instalment Sale
Term financing structured around the offtaker’s operational profile, unlocking the Section 12B tax benefits that come with ownership.
Operating Lease
Off-balance-sheet lease arrangements for offtakers who prefer to keep the asset off their books while securing the energy benefit.
Rent-to-Own
Structures that move the offtaker from use to ownership over the term, blending the flexibility of a lease with an end-of-term asset.
Bank-Led Structured Finance
Where you prefer a bank-led route — common on instalment sale — we leverage direct relationships with South Africa’s major banks. You choose the route; we structure it.
Equity Participation
For project SPVs where investor participation fits, our panel includes investors willing to take equity stakes — so the right capital structure is always available.
FROM ORIGINATION TO FINANCIAL CLOSE
A clear, time-stamped process — from first registration to drawdown.
Project Registration
We introduce a qualifying project in writing. Registration time-stamps the lead and confirms origination interest.
Funder Acknowledgement
Funders acknowledge the project and confirm appetite to engage.
Submission Pack
A complete pack is delivered — preliminary financial assessment done, the offtaker briefed on what funders need to see.
First Engagement
Within a defined window, the funder responds with a written funding proposal: structure, indicative pricing, term, and conditions precedent.
Funder Engagement
Direct engagement between funder, offtaker, and EPC for technical due diligence, credit assessment, and term-sheet negotiation.
Financial Close
Conditions precedent satisfied, funding committed and available for drawdown, binding offtaker agreement executed.
WHO WE WORK WITH
Origination serves three sides of every deal.
Offtakers
We align your project profile against the appetite of 32 funders and investors, structure the right route, introduce a matched EPC, and manage the process from submission pack to Financial Close.
EPCs
We take the funding admin off your desk, collecting submission packs directly from your offtaker clients, and offer finders fees on projects you introduce that we fund.
Funders
We deliver pre-screened, origination-ready deal flow with preliminary assessment completed — filtering out the non-bankable deals before they consume credit-committee time.
Indicative terms are shared on request once an NDA is in place; full commercial terms are confirmed in the executed agreement.
