Sustainable impact objectives

REPP 2’s objective is to mobilise and scale commercially viable, decentralised renewable energy investments across Africa by deploying catalytic capital where it is most needed — early in the development cycle and at the point of construction. By doing so, the fund aims to unlock bankable renewable energy projects, strengthen local developer capacity and create a pipeline of investable clean energy assets in underserved markets with strong long-term growth potential.

By investing in on- and off-grid renewable energy assets, REPP 2 contributes to expanding access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy in one of the world’s most unelectrified regions, in line with SDG 7. As an SFDR Article 9 fund, it makes sustainable investments that directly contribute to shared climate objectives — namely, mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing energy system resilience and assisting countries in implementing their national climate policies and priorities in a region that is disproportionately affected by climate change.

REPP 2 also invests with a strong gender lens, aligning with the 2X’s criteria for gender lens investing by directing investment to women-owned and women-led companies, as well as businesses delivering renewable energy solutions benefiting women and vulnerable groups at the community level. Through this focus, REPP 2 aims to improve gender equality, expand opportunities for women in the renewable energy sector and strengthen their economic empowerment and resilience in underserved communities.
