RENEWABLE
ENERGY PROJECTS

The Kensani group has been an active participant in the South African government’s Renewable Energy Independent Power Producers (REIPP) program since inception in Round I.
Kensani founded Kensani Capital Advisory, a boutique project finance advisory firm later sold to Eaglestone Capital Advisory. As financial advisor, Kensani assisted in bidding numerous wind and solar projects, and the group was an equity investor in three of the Round I and Round II solar PV projects: Letsatsi, Lesedi and Jasper Power Companies. As part of a group restructuring, the equity interests in the three projects were disposed of in late 2019.
