SIMA’s impact investment funds, including the Off-Grid Solar and Financial Access Fund, Emerging Distributor Finance Fund, and Energy Access Relief Fund, have cumulatively placed over USD 185 million in renewable energy with leading social enterprises. These impact investments have brought access to clean energy to an estimated 23.2 million people and reduced 20.4 million metric tons of CO2 emissions. We're also planning to launch a $150-million solar fund to drive sustainability, expand clean energy access, finance 220+ MW of renewable capacity, reduce 4 million tons of carbon, and generate around 44K jobs in Africa and Asia.
