Additional Information

Bankability of our PPAs

A PPA from Africa GreenCo is bankable because of the unique approach that we have taken to building a product that will meet lender requirements.

01
our PPAs are

backed by a liquidity buffer capitalised by equity and guaranteed capital from some of the most trusted names in finance

02
This liquidity buffer

backs GreenCo's payment obligations and is guaranteed by GuarantCo (AA-), a highly rated provider of credit finance solutions

03
The liquidity buffer

steps in to mitigate any revenue shortfalls and is replenished from any later excesses, so providing significant proactive payment mitigation

04
GreenCo minimises

single offtaker risk by selling the power that it purchases to multiple credit-worthy offtakes

05
Offtaker risk

is further mitigated thanks to our ability to buy and sell power on the Southern African Power Pool
