Solar Energy Investment: New Energy Solar
The significant growth of the solar industry around the globe in recent years has created a new class of mainstream infrastructure investment – large-scale solar power stations that generate emissions-free power on the back of various huge technological innovations which would produce stable cash-flow and drive cost competitiveness.
New Energy Solar is focusing on building a portfolio of large-scale solar power plants that generate and sell clean energy to creditworthy electricity consumers.
A rapidly growing global opportunity - Multiple Evidence suggest that global solar power capacity could increase from 5 to 32 percent of global power capacity by 2040.
Low maintenance cost after the initial investment - Fuel for solar assets is free and unlimited – life span of solar panels are typically 25+ years, meaning the majority of investment costs are incurred upfront.
Ongoing cash flow generation - Ownership are generally at relatively low risk producing solar power stations that would generate cash flows by selling zero emissions electricity into the power grid.
Socially responsible investments - Climate change, pollution, natural resource constraints and positive public sentiment are creating more demand for electricity procured from renewable sources.
Limited exposure to technology risk - Solar photovoltaics are well developed and long time-endured technologies. Investing in high quality solar assets would also be largely de-risked through long-term Power Purchase Agreements with high quality off-takers (i.e. governments, utilities and large corporations) .
