Innovation In Finance

In addition, the market for ‘green’ bonds — investment securities that generate money to be used for projects with environmental or climate benefits — has increased exponentially, with finance experts predicting that green bonds could be a $1 trillion market by the end of 2020.

Given the excellent natural wind and sunshine resources that Southern Africa enjoys, the opportunities for viable investment into small scale embedded generation (SSEG), micro- and mini-grids, small and medium-scale PV Solar projects, as well as the larger, utility scale wind and solar farms, will only continue to grow

This also means that just about anyone can enjoy the benefits of a PV Solar installation without having to commit large amounts of CAPEX (capital expenditure) to do so. Rooftop space has become valued ‘real estate’ which can have a real revenue value.

There are also a number of tax incentives available for business geared specifically for the installation of a PV solar generation plant.

There are also now a number of investment platforms which allow the ‘man in the street’ to benefit from the upturn in the renewable energy market, by providing micro investment opportunities. You can invest in a single photo voltaic cell, a collector panel, or participate in a project at any level, with increasingly attractive returns. If you are interested in investing, please contact us.
