Your capital is locked in long-term PPAs?
Our Solution: PPA-Backed Securities
Solar energy projects face significant financial challenges due to high upfront costs and long payback periods. Traditional financing methods have often been insufficient to meet the growing demand for solar installations.
Struggling to access liquidity for new projects?
Our Solution: PPA-Backed Securities
Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)-backed securities offer a transformative approach to financing renewable energy projects, particularly in the solar photovoltaic (PV) sector. By converting future long-term revenue streams from PPAs into tradeable financial instruments, they provide a range of benefits to stakeholders,

Attractive Returns:
PPA-backed securities offer steady, long-term income streams with predictable returns, making them ideal for pension funds, insurance companies, and ESG-focused investors.
Low Correlation to Market Volatility:
As the revenue from PPAs is often decoupled from market price fluctuations (e.g., in fixed-price agreements), these securities can provide a stable investment option.
ِِِِِِِِAlignment with ESG Goals:
PPA-backed securities contribute directly to financing renewable energy, enabling investors to meet environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria and improve their sustainability profiles.
