IFC to back ACWA Power renewables growth with $100m
The International Financial Corporation (IFC) is considering a $100 million equity investment in Saudi developer ACWA Power, to support expansion in renewable energy and desalination projects outside the GCC. Riyadh-based ACWA Power rose to prominence through its domination of the independent water and power project (IWPP) market in Saudi Arabia. It currently owns stakes in seven privately-owned desalination projects, with a combined capacity of 2.4 million m©ø/d.
In recent years it has made serious moves into solar power with projects in Morocco and South Africa. Early this year, the Saudi government took a 19.4% stake in ACWA Power through two national funds, likely an incentive for the IFC investment. The IFC is keen to promote ¡°south-south¡± trade through investment in companies based in emerging economies. In June this year it arranged a $70 million debt facility for Emirates-based water and wastewater specialist Metito.
