AFRIGREEN Debt Impact Fund

About

AFRIGREEN Debt Impact Fund offers long-term debt solutions to finance solar infrastructure projects in Central and West Africa through direct project loans and asset-based credit facilities. It aims to help SMEs and C&Is lower their energy bills and reduce their dependence on diesel fuels by increasing the uptake of solar PV in Africa. Classified Article 9, the fund targets all sectors and is designed for project sizes ranging from 100 kW to 15 MW. Its impact goals are measured in MW, MWh produced, tons of CO2e emissions avoided, number of enterprises gaining access to new financing channels, and the number that can upgrade their power generation facilities and increase their efficiency. The Fund is managed by RGREEN INVEST, a French investment company specialized in financing renewable energy infrastructure projects. ECHOSYS INVEST is a JV created in 2021 with ECHOSYS ADVISORY to serve as AFRIGREEN's dedicated investment strategy advisor.
