24 GREENWISH PARTNERS RENEWABLE ENERGY PRODUCER DEDICATED TO SOLAR AND ONSHORE WIND PROJECTS IN AFRICA Inclusive We share value creation with clients, partners, communities and the environment Discipline We leverage our discipline of project finance and past track record to develop innovative technical, financing and contractual structures Change-maker We create disruptive business models to address country, technology and financing challenges «We provide climate-smart solutions to people» We believe that renewable energy technologies combined with inclusive and innovative business models have the potential to meet the economic, social and environmental challenges facing Africa. GreenWish s mission is to demonstrate the potential of renewable energies to fuel the economic and social development of the continent while contributing to the fight against climate change. Equity investment capacity: $ 270 million Target portfolio: 600 MW by MW solar PV project commissioned in Senegal Current project pipeline: $ 1 Billion Expected impact: access to power for 6 million people and prevention of 720,000 tons of CO 2 per year 2

25 FINANCING SOLAR PROJECTS IN AFRICA: CHALLENGES & SOLUTIONS The main challenges stem from constraints inherent to non-recourse project finance: Guarantees are needed due to the long-term approach of such projects; Difficulties and delays of deal implementation; Not always adapted to the small size of solar projects. Solution: innovative financing tools Standardize key contracts (PPA, concession agreement) such as replicating legal structures as much as possible; Alternative debt financing: bridge financing during construction, refinancing; Develop structured portfolio options; Create regional Political Risk Guarantees (PRG). Development Finance Institutions have a key role to play to tackle those challenges: ü ü De-risking sovereign risks by bringing guarantees; ü Lighten financing procedures; Support the technical and legal capacities of governments. 3
