Activities to date

Substantial Renewable Energy projects around the Globe.Constructing and stabilising the income for pension funds to offer long term renewable index linked income streams within the Green Energy sector

The power plant is to be developed at a site approximately 28 km from Eldoret town, 293 km from the Kenyan capital city of Nairobi.

The site is fairly levelled with minimal development, and a 220kV Turkwel-Lessos transmission line passes close to it

The project is planned to be implemented in three phases under the Feed in Tariff policy of the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum. The first phase will involve generation of 40MW, second phase will add another 40MW and the final phase will add 20MW with the total generated electricity being supplied to the national grid.

The initial Project investment is circa $80 million and will generate 40MW with the opportunity to invest a further $150 million to expand the PV park over the next 18 months.

WWRE carries out due Diligence on 20 MW of Wind Turbine assets in The Caribbean with Government backed PPA’s (Power Purchase Agreement).

WWRE invests in 500 MW of Wind Turbines in India with existing assets with income enhancement opportunities.

Deal snapshot

Deal overview

Circa US $500 million is being sought as debt/equity to acquire and extend existing income producing assets. These assets are existing wind turbines throughout India with the opportunity to increase income stream by expanding the assets and installing Photo Voltaic parks to the grid. There is the opportunity to invest $500 million in debt or $300 million in equity and we can raise the rest in debt.

• This will give security of training/employment to over 1000 people over a long-term period of more than 20 years.
• It will give energy security and provide a long-term income stream to any investors whilst at the same time reducing carbon footprints by generating clean energy.
• We will not only acquire the current assets but also enhance the production by the installation of PV and reduce balancing charges by the commissioning of batteries/hydrogen storage.
• The assets are immediately available and so any investment will receive a return very quickly.
• We are also looking for an initial tranche of $10 million as a first loss guarantee to offer increased comfort to the long-term investors.
• We are on the lookout for suitable blended support mechanisms. First-loss guarantee would be the preferred instrument.
