GAIA announces listing of first renewable energy fund in South Africa
GAIA Fund Managers and Kruger International Asset has announced listing of South Africa’s first fund focused on renewable energy projects - GAIA fund 1. The fund is listed on 4 Africa Exchange.
The preference shares will be bought by Kruger International’s various funds. The proceeds of the listing will be used by the Company to buy a 16% indirect shareholding in the Tsitsikamma Community Wind Farm. The wind farm is a renewable energy project with an installed capacity of 95 MW, situated near Humansdorp in the Eastern Cape’s Koukamma Local Municipality. The listing of the Company’s preference shares, with its focus on clean energy, takes place as the South African Government ramps up the supply of renewable energy to the national electricity grid.
As a listed entity, the Fund will enable collective investment scheme portfolios to increase their allocation to infrastructure from an unlisted instrument threshold of 5% to 10%, yet retain the benefits of being unlisted through price stability.
