Utility-scale solar
Ground-mount photovoltaic plants at utility scale, single-axis tracked where the resource and land cost justify it.
Our position
An honest account of where we stand
We are not going to claim that a coal trader is a green company. We will tell you what we are actually building.
The markets we serve — Bangladesh, Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, East and Southern Africa — are adding electricity demand faster than almost anywhere on earth. Coal and ore will supply a large part of that demand for years yet, and pretending otherwise does not help anybody plan.
What we can do is use the balance sheet, the local relationships and the project-delivery experience we already have in those markets to develop generation that displaces thermal load. That is the mandate of this division: build real megawatts, in the same countries, with the same partners.
- Greenfield solar and onshore wind development
- Co-development and equity participation with local sponsors
- Battery storage paired with new and existing generation
- Captive and open-access supply to industrial offtakers
What we build
Four technology tracks
We develop where the resource, the grid connection and the offtaker all stack up — not where the subsidy is loudest.
Onshore wind
Wind farms built on a full on-site met-mast campaign, with turbine selection matched to the measured wind class.
Battery storage
Lithium systems sized for firming, peak shifting and grid services, co-located or standalone.
Captive industrial supply
Behind-the-meter and open-access generation for mills, cement plants and foundries wanting a fixed long-run power cost.
Process
How a project reaches financial close
We take projects from land control through to commercial operation, either on our own balance sheet or alongside a co-developer.
STAGE 01
Resource & site screening
Satellite and reanalysis data narrowed to a shortlist, then validated on the ground with pyranometers or a met mast.
STAGE 02
Land & grid control
Land secured by lease or option, and a grid connection application lodged with an indicative connection point and capacity.
STAGE 03
Permits & impact studies
Environmental and social impact assessment, community consultation, and the full statutory permit set for the jurisdiction.
STAGE 04
Offtake agreement
A bankable long-term power purchase agreement with a utility or a creditworthy industrial offtaker, or a merchant case we can defend.
STAGE 05
EPC & financial close
EPC contractor appointed on a fixed-price, date-certain basis, and debt raised against the signed offtake.
STAGE 06
Construction & operation
Build out, grid energisation, performance testing, then long-term operations and maintenance under a monitored availability regime.
Working with us
Start a conversation
Who this division talks to
We are open to conversations at any stage, from a landowner with a windy ridge to a utility running a tender.
Landowners & local sponsors
If you hold land with a credible resource and a route to a connection point, we will fund the measurement campaign and take the project forward with you.
Industrial offtakers
Mills, cement works and foundries already buying raw material from us can contract power on a long-term fixed or indexed tariff.
Lenders & co-investors
Project debt, mezzanine and equity co-investment at construction or operating stage, with full data-room access on diligence.
Utilities & regulators
Tender participation, feed-in and auction bids, and grid-support commitments in the markets where we hold a development licence.
EPC & O&M contractors
We pre-qualify contractors by delivered megawatts, balance-sheet strength and the quality of their performance guarantees.
Host communities
Consultation before permitting, local hiring during construction, and a shared-benefit arrangement written into the project company.
