Market Context

Strong Demand. Clear Investment Need.

Africa's growing economies require substantial investment in new power generation. Zambia is Solatriq's first market, where electricity shortages, industrial and mining demand, strong solar resources and increasing private-sector participation create a clear opportunity for new renewable generation.

Policy framework
01

Growing Power Demand

Electricity demand from industry, mining, businesses and growing urban centres continues to create demand for additional generation capacity.

02

Need for Diversification

Greater renewable generation can diversify hydro-dependent power systems and strengthen long-term energy resilience.

03

Competitive Solar Economics

Strong solar resources, declining technology costs and relatively short construction periods support competitive utility-scale generation.

04

Private Capital Opportunity

Independent power producers, private power trading and infrastructure investment are creating new routes for private capital to participate in the energy sector.

What Solatriq Brings

Local Development. Investable Projects.

Capital alone does not create an energy project. Solatriq's role is to originate opportunities, secure the development fundamentals and bring together the partners required to move projects toward financial close and construction.

Project Origination

Identifying viable markets, sites and commercial opportunities.

Development & De-Risking

Advancing land, permitting, environmental, grid, technical and commercial work.

Capital Structuring

Bringing together equity, debt, guarantees, blended finance and strategic capital.

Project Delivery

Working with experienced EPC, technical and operating partners to move projects into construction and long-term operation.

Risk Management

Built Around Bankability

We identify key development and financing risks early and structure each project to address the requirements of investors, lenders and delivery partners.

Regulatory & Permitting

Early engagement with relevant authorities and systematic management of project approvals and licensing.

Currency & Revenue

Commercial structures seek to align project revenues, financing obligations and currency exposure wherever practicable.

Construction

Projects are structured to engage experienced EPC and delivery partners with appropriate contractual protections and performance mechanisms.

Solar Resource

Independent solar resource assessments using long-term satellite data and ground measurements to support bankable energy yield estimates.

Offtake & Revenue

Offtake structures are designed to provide long-term revenue visibility aligned with the requirements of project lenders and equity investors.
