Clean Energy Technical Analyst
Clean Energy Technical Analyst
InfraCredit’s Clean Energy Funding Programme (the “Programme”) seeks to provide the financial flexibility required in aggregating and funding small-scale energy projects, thereby enabling access to sustainable local currency debt for eligible project sponsors, and supporting the energy transition strategy to achieve cleaner, less expensive, and more reliable sources of energy while creating jobs and supporting local economic development.
The Programme is supported by stakeholders including PIDG and KFW Development Bank. Under the Programme, InfraCredit has developed a growing pipeline consisting of multiple small-sized bankable clean energy projects ranging from NGN 550 million to NGN 15 billion seeking access to long- term naira debt financing.
As part of its clean energy transition strategy. InfraCredit is developing a roadmap that supports a strategic transition to a portfolio of investments that is aligned to the Paris Agreement across targeted areas of opportunity. To achieve this, InfraCredit recognises the need to support alternative cleaner energy sources for a limited period, on the course to reach the commitment to net zero emissions by 2050.
