A rare chance to acquire a South African Independent Power Producer (IPP) and Energy Project Developer with a proven track record in both infrastructure grade annuity income and residential/commercial solar solutions.
The platform has transitioned from project based EPC work into a high margin asset ownership model, operating solar plants under long term CPI linked Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). At the same time, it remains part of a recognized solar network, offering installation, design, and maintenance services for residential and commercial clients.
Investment Highlights
- Infrastructure Grade Yields: 2.4MW+ operational capacity generating $7.3M+ projected annuity income over 17–20 years.
- Inflation Hedged Contracts: 100% of PPAs linked to CPIX, protecting against tariff escalation and currency volatility.
- Exceptional Margins: Net profit margins of 42–45%, well above EPC industry averages.
- Energy Wheeling Rights: Scarce municipal licence position enabling sales to licensed national traders.
- Diversified Offering: Residential & commercial solar installations, system design, and maintenance services under a franchise brand.
- Continuity: Founder committed to a 5 year stay on, ensuring operational stability and pipeline execution.
