Bankability of GreenCo's PPAs

GreenCo PPAs are

backed by a liquidity buffer capitalised by equity and guaranteed capital from some of the most trusted names in finance.

This liquidity buffer

backs GreenCo's payment obligations and is guaranteed by GuarantCo (AA-), a highly-rated provider of credit finance solutions.

03
The liquidity buffer

is available to mitigate any revenue shortfalls and is replenished from any later excesses, thereby providing significant proactive payment mitigation.

04
GreenCo minimises

single-buyer risk by selling the power that it purchases to multiple credit-worthy consumers.

05
Consumer risk

is further mitigated by GreenCo’s ability to buy and sell power on the Southern African Power Pool.
