REPP (Renewable Energy Performance Platform) provides catalytic finance to renewable energy projects and developers in Sub-Saharan Africa and is funded by the UK Government.
Since its inception in 2015, REPP has become a leading investor in the market for small to medium-sized grid-tied and distributed renewable energy projects.
​
REPP 2 is a private debt fund focused on the clean energy transition in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is structured as a blended finance vehicle to ensure an appropriate risk-adjusted return to investors and aims to deliver significant climate and economic impacts through flexible financing solutions for the construction of decentralised and small-scale renewable energy assets.
​
Spark finances energy efficiency and captive generation projects in Sub-Saharan Africa’s commercial and industrial (C&I) sector, building a diversified and well-structured portfolio of clean energy projects across Africa with a strong ESG profile.
TIDES is a blended finance platform for the Pacific aimed at providing flexible financing to local renewable energy developers with the goal of catalysing investment in zero-emissions projects across the full range of sizes, from mini-grids to large grid-connected systems.
Resilient Investment in Southern Africa (RISA) is an impact fund being co-developed by Camco and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) to build climate adaptation and resilience within southern Africa’s food and agriculture value chains through providing finance and technical assistance to small and medium-size businesses.
P-RECs
The Peace Renewable Energy Credit (P-REC) Aggregation Facility is an impact-focused facility aiming to unlock finance for new renewable energy projects in fragile, energy-poor countries in Sub-Saharan Africa by providing upfront P-REC revenue to project developers in exchange for the ownership of P-RECs generated by the project.
​
CRAF (Credit Risk Abatement Facility) mobilises finance into Caribbean small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) for renewable energy and energy efficiency projects. It does this by providing credit risk guarantees and targeted technical assistance.
​
Camco supported the development of CRAF from 2018-2021.
