Etana Energy

GuarantCo and British International Investment (BII), the UK’s development finance institution and impact investor, expect to unlock US$500 million of new renewable power development through a groundbreaking deal with Etana Energy, the South African energy trading company.   GuarantCo and BII will provide $100 million ($50 million each) of default guarantee finance for Etana in South Africa’s largest “energy wheeling framework” transaction.   This innovative type of deal is designed to unlock new renewable energy capacity by providing independent power producers (IPPs) with the revenue certainty they need to break ground on new renewable energy projects.   Recent regulatory changes in South Africa have opened the opportunity for private power producers to sell electricity to business customers, and companies like Etana are looking to accelerate this opportunity, expanding the addressable market by buying renewable energy from private generators and then selling that output to a portfolio of commercial customers by “wheeling” the electricity across the existing transmission network.
