Refinancing Renewable Energy through
PPA-backed Securitization
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,
The Win-win-win Model
For Renewable Energy Developers
For Impact and Fixed Income Investors
For Impact and Fixed Income Investors
Improved Liquidity:
Developers can monetize future revenue streams upfront, unlocking capital that can be reinvested into new projects or used for operational expansion.
Enhanced Financing Options:
Securitization diversifies funding sources beyond traditional loans and equity, reducing dependency on specific financiers.
Risk Mitigation:
By transferring a portion of revenue risks to investors, developers can stabilize their cash flows and improve financial predictability.

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.

Liquidity Creation:
Securitization transforms illiquid assets (PPAs) into tradeable securities, expanding the market for renewable energy financing.
Diversification Opportunities:
PPA-backed securities offer exposure to the renewable energy sector, allowing investors to diversify their portfolios with low-risk, asset-backed instruments.
Market Standardization:
Widespread use of PPA-backed securities can drive the development of standardized financial instruments for renewable energy, improving market efficiency.
For Policymakers
Accelerated Renewable Energy Deployment:
By enabling developers to secure capital more efficiently, securitization supports faster scaling of renewable energy projects, helping governments meet climate targets.
Reduced Dependency on Subsidies:
PPA-backed securities mobilize private capital, reducing reliance on government subsidies and public financing for renewable energy projects.
Job Creation and Economic Growth:
Enhanced financing mechanisms spur renewable energy development, contributing to job creation and economic activity in the clean energy sector.
For Energy Off-takers
Cost Stability:
PPAs typically provide fixed or predictable pricing, allowing off-takers to lock in energy costs and hedge against market price volatility.
