Renewable Energy Investor Mandate: Solar, Wind, Medical Real Estate
Global Solar, Wind, and Renewable Energy Investor Mandate Interview
Sponsors of solar, wind or medical real estate projects, especially in southern Africa, who want to know what this investor group looks for.
What you will hear
Simon represents Go Solutions, an investment company in Johannesburg. He says the firm is not raising capital. It is a capital provider that invests worldwide. He joins his colleagues Stephen and Victor to explain what the group wants to fund. Stephen sources solar and windmill energy deals in southern Africa. One member of the group also wants medical real estate deals, including partners for a hospital chain.
The three split the work by role. Stephen does diligence on renewable energy and Victor handles the finance side. They name a solar energy deal in Qatar, alongside Breakthrough Energy Ventures, as their top current deal. They also describe helping people with stock holdings get liquidity, and they say they will look at any deal sent to them. Richard C. Wilson ends by suggesting a future panel on energy and international financing.
What stood out
- A capital provider, not a raiser. Simon states that the firm is not raising capital. It is a source of capital that invests worldwide. Capital raisers should treat the group as a possible investor.
- Solar and wind deals in southern Africa. Stephen says most deals he sees or needs to fund are renewable energy projects, either solar or windmill. He points to challenges in solar energy in southern Africa.
- Medical real estate is also wanted. One member of the group is looking for real estate deals in the medical field. That person works with a medical group and wants international partners to set up a hospital chain.
- Each partner has a defined role. Stephen does diligence on whether a renewable energy investment is sound. Victor does the finance work. The group says it is open to any deal that comes in.
- Connection comes before the solution. Simon's main lesson is "First the connection then the solution." The group also says it can help people with stock holdings get liquidity to start or grow a deal.
In their words
"First the connection then the solution. That's my advice."
"There is one energy deal right now going on in Qatar in cooperation with Breakthrough Energy Ventures."
"Each of us has a specific role, and we are open to any deals."
