Renewable Energy Project Finance
Hillingdale Capital is an experienced finance arranger and corporate finance advisor in the solar sector. We source funding for solar-oriented companies and projects in Southern Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Europe.
The Opportunity
Hillingdale recognises the tremendous potential of renewable energy sources, especially in South Africa, where the Section 12B tax incentive encourages investment in the sector. We are committed to leading the renewable energy revolution by matching institutional capital providers with exceptional funding opportunities.
Our investors are highly interested in financing top-tier solar businesses and projects with both term loans and equity financing, making Hillingdale the ideal partner for corporate solar funding.
Key Points
Despite the African population projected to double by 2050, a significant portion of the populace still lack direct access to electricity. Most of Africa’s existing electricity generation assets and grids are deteriorating and/or substandard.

There is a growing consensus among energy experts and the IMF that expedited implementation of renewable energy programs is crucial.
02
03
The African continent has vast untapped solar potential. These renewable energy sources represent an increasingly cost-competitive clean solution to traditional fossil fuel sources.
04
The South African solar energy market is expected to experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 29.74% from 2022 to 2026. This is just one example of the extensive opportunities presented by solar and other renewables.
