Propelling South Africa’s Just Energy Transition

As South Africa’s green energy sector continues to expand, we remain committed to providing agile and innovative financing solutions that drive sustainable progress. This deal underscores our dedication to long-term sustainability goals, reducing carbon emissions while unlocking investment opportunities in the renewable energy sector.

Building on a five-year partnership with Red Rocket, this latest transaction will finance the design, development, construction, operation, and maintenance of the phase one 230MW FE Overberg wind project in the Western Cape. We played a pivotal role as Joint Mandated Lead Arranger (MLA), Joint Hedge Provider, Senior Debt Lender, Ancillary Debt Lender, Facility Agent, and Guarantee Issuing Bank. The first phase of the FE Overberg wind project will supply clean energy to Richards Bay Minerals (RBM)—South Africa’s largest mineral sands producer—helping fast-track their decarbonisation efforts.

This transaction not only strengthens our track record in structuring innovative renewable energy financing but also reinforces our commitment to supporting Africa’s transition to sustainable energy. Beyond clean power generation, the project will create jobs, electrify thousands of homes, and significantly cut carbon emissions, delivering lasting benefits to the communities we serve.

As we continue to finance impactful renewable energy projects, we look forward to empowering our clients on their journey toward a sustainable, low-carbon future.
