SIMA’s C&I Solar Green Bond aims to foster the development of a vibrant ecosystem of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the commercial and industrial (C&I) solar sector. By providing tailored financing solutions, we empower SME developers to meet their corporate needs, ranging from working capital and inventory financing to project financing requirements. This initiative opens up new avenues of financing for this crucial segment, complementing mini-grids and off-grid solutions.
The bond focuses on financing projects in the Productive Use Sector, encompassing areas such as Agriculture, Agro-processing, Education, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Services, and Hospitality. We target projects with a capacity of 5 MW or smaller, ensuring that the bond supports diverse and impactful ventures.
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles are integral to our approach. We employ an ESG numeric scorecard to measure and improve the compliance of developers in our portfolio. Through technical assistance, we actively engage developers in strengthening their ESG practices, thus creating a sub-sector within C&I that drives profound industry-wide implications.
At SIMA, we measure the impact of our C&I Solar Green Bond in multiple dimensions. This includes the capacity of solar energy established, the number of companies supported in scaling their businesses, the reduction in CO2 emissions achieved, the volume of diesel displaced by solar energy utilization, and the employment generated through scaled initiatives. Together, we are driving sustainable growth and shaping a cleaner, more inclusive future through the power of solar energy.
