Who is our customer

Erika Energy is a project company established with the sole purpose of developing, constructing, owning and operating a 28 MW solar power plant situated Northeast of Johannesburg, South Africa. The project shareholders are SEGP Renewable Energy Southern Africa (Pty) Ltd, Public Investment Corporation SOC Limited, Kurisani Soutpan (Pty) Ltd and Izingwe International Fund (Pty) Ltd.

What is our funding objective?

FMO's financing will fund part of the costs entailed by the construction of the solar plant. The project is jointly funded by other financial institutions, one of whom is FMO's partner, Standard Bank.

Why do we fund this investment?

The project is part of South Africa's Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme, a scheme aimed at reducing the country's reliance on thermal energy. By funding the proposed projects, FMO supports greater private sector involvement and the growth of renewable energy production in a well regulated energy market - the largest on the African continent, which itself is amongst the largest greenhouse gas emitters in the world.
