Reinvesting in energy that keeps Africa moving

Delivering resilient and affordable energy for households and cost savings for Eskom lies at the heart of this partnership. The refinancing unlocks meaningful benefits by reducing tariffs payable to the national grid, generating substantial savings over the remaining term of the power purchase agreements, and ultimately benefitting South African consumers.

Absa underwrote 100% of the transaction as sole Mandated Lead Arranger, Underwriter, Bookrunner, Facility Agent, and Account Bank,. This allows Infinity to optimise its capital, release funds for reinvestment, and strengthen its position as one of Africa’s largest pure-play renewable energy provider.

Beyond the financial commitment, the transaction delivers tangible community impact by accelerating distributions to community trust shareholders, supporting sustainable development programmes, and releasing shareholder funds for reinvestment into new renewable initiatives.

By enabling reinvestment into IPH’s future renewable projects, Absa continues to drive Africa’s clean energy transition and demonstrate confidence in the business’s growth strategy within the continent’s rapidly expanding renewable energy sector.
