January 2026). The model architecture includes:
- Three integrated statements (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow)
on a monthly basis through FY2049 (PPA termination). - Separate SPV-level models for each asset (Solar, Wind, BESS)
consolidating to HoldCo level. - Sensitivity and scenario macros enabling stress-testing across 14
input variables. - Debt sizing module per IFC sculpting methodology, optimising to a
1.25x target DSCR. - Equity returns dashboard with IRR, NPV, payback, and cash-on-cash
outputs. - Tax computation respecting Section 12B, ring-fencing rules, and
dividend withholding.
Appendix B — Grid Connection Studies
Independent Power System Studies have been commissioned from Pöyry
Energy Consulting and verified by NTCSA’s Grid Connection Office. Key
conclusions:
- Solar PV site (Northern Cape, Renosterberg substation): 350 MVA
budget quote received, grid capacity confirmed for full 300 MW
connection. Connection cost: R85 million. - Wind site (Eastern Cape, Komga substation): 175 MVA budget quote
received, grid upgrade required (R65 million) to be cost-shared with
neighbouring REIPPPP BW8 projects. - BESS site (Mpumalanga, Pluto substation): 110 MVA fast-track
connection via Eskom’s BESIPPPP standardised connection
package.

AGEH’s Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS) has been
benchmarked against IFC Performance Standards 1-8 and Equator Principles
IV. The ESMS framework comprises:
- Group-level ESG Policy and ESMS Manual aligned to ISO 14001 and
ISO 45001. - Project-specific Environmental & Social Impact Assessments
(ESIAs) for each site, completed by SRK Consulting and disclosed
publicly per IFC PS1 requirements. - Environmental Authorisations (EAs) for Solar and Wind sites
issued by DFFE in Q3 2025; BESS EA in final review. - Resettlement & Livelihood Restoration Plans (LRPs) prepared
for affected smallholder farmers at Wind site (covering 14
households). - Biodiversity Action Plans including bat & avifauna monitoring
protocols meeting IFC PS6 critical habitat requirements. - Cultural Heritage Management Plan with chance-find procedures
verified by SAHRA. - Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) operational since Q4 2025, with
full case management database.
Appendix D — Management CVs
Detailed curricula vitae for the senior management team, board of
directors and key technical leads are available in the data room.
