Confidential Business Plan
MEGAPOWER Solar
A 100 MW (AC) / 130 MWp utility-scale solar PV project in South Africa — powering the country’s just energy transition through long-term contracted offtake under either REIPPPP Bid Window 8 or a corporate wheeled PPA, structured as an investment-grade ZAR 1.85-billion opportunity for senior lenders, sponsors and institutional equity investors.
South Africa faces a structural electricity shortfall, an ageing coal fleet in phased retirement, persistent load-shedding and steeply rising Eskom tariffs — while enjoying some of the world’s best solar resource and an established REIPPPP procurement framework now complemented by corporate wheeling. MEGAPOWER Solar captures this with a 100 MW (AC) / 130 MWp utility-scale PV project on long-term contracted offtake — a ZAR 1.85-billion investment funded with ZAR 1,295 million of senior debt and ZAR 333 million of equity, delivering a 16.4% levered equity IRR with an average project DSCR of 1.3–1.7× across a 25-year operating life.
