Industrial Energy
Solutions

Ghana's industrial sector: manufacturers, free zones, industrial parks, mining operations, and anchor tenants. Represents the highest-value clean energy opportunity in the country. These clients have the scale, the creditworthiness, and the energy intensity to justify large, long-term contracted assets. Industrial solar financing, industrial solar installations, and BESS for mining are at the core of what we do. CIPA Energy Resources is built to serve them.

CIPA Energy Resources' industrial energy platform

Large-Scale Solar PV — 1MW to 20MW+
CIPA Energy Resources develops and finances large-scale solar assets for industrial clients. Rooftop, ground-mount, and carport configurations across single facilities or multi-site portfolios. Projects above 1MWp are structured as dedicated SPVs with individual off-take agreements and independent financing.
- Systems from 1MWp to 20MWp and above
- Single-facility and multi-site portfolio structures
- Dedicated SPV per asset or per portfolio
- Long-term PPAs — 15 to 25-year terms available
Industrial Park Shared Infrastructure
For industrial parks and free zones with multiple anchor tenants, CIPA Energy Resources structures shared energy infrastructure. A single generation and storage platform serving multiple off-takers under individual ESAs. This aggregation approach unlocks institutional financing scale from portfolios of smaller clients.
- Single asset — multiple off-takers
- Individual ESAs per tenant with ring-fenced billing
- Shared infrastructure reduces per-client capex
- Aggregated portfolio attracts institutional debt
Free Zone Energy Compliance
Ghana Free Zones Authority (GFZA) enterprises face increasing pressure to demonstrate ESG compliance and sustainable operations from international buyers and parent companies. CIPA Energy Resources' clean energy solutions provide verifiable, reportable carbon reduction data compatible with global supply chain audit requirements.
- Verified CO₂ avoidance certificates
- Supply chain ESG compliance documentation
- CDP, GRI, and TCFD-compatible reporting
- Supports Scope 2 emissions reduction targets
Multi-Tenant SPV Structuring
CIPA Energy Resources' most sophisticated industrial offering. Aggregating multiple Free Zone or industrial park clients into a single Special Purpose Vehicle, financed at portfolio level with institutional debt, and managed as a single asset by CIPA Energy Resources' O&M team. This structure achieves institutional scale from sub-institutional individual clients.
- SPV aggregates 3-10 industrial clients
- Portfolio financing at institutional scale ($5M-$50M)
- DFI and pension fund compatible structure
- Individual client agreements remain ring-fenced
Power Purchase Agreements — Industrial Terms
Industrial PPAs are structured differently from C&I ESAs. Larger capacity, longer tenors, take-or-pay provisions, and more complex curtailment and grid interaction terms. CIPA Energy Resources' legal and structuring team has the experience to negotiate and execute industrial-scale PPAs that satisfy both client and lender requirements.
- Take-or-pay provisions on qualifying volumes
- Capacity payment structures available
- Curtailment and grid interaction provisions
- 20-25 year terms standard at industrial scale
Industrial Decarbonisation Roadmaps
For industrial clients with formal net-zero or decarbonisation commitments, CIPA Energy Resources develops long-term energy transition roadmaps. Sequencing efficiency, solar, storage, and process electrification interventions to achieve maximum emissions reduction at minimum cost over a 5-15 year horizon.
- Baseline Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions assessment
- Sequenced decarbonisation intervention plan
- Financial modelling for each phase
- Annual progress reporting and plan updates
