ReNew Power secures $1b loan for hybrid battery-enabled project

This is the largest ECB project loan in India’s renewable sector.

ReNew Power bagged a $1b loan following its partnership with 12 international lenders led by Rabobank, for its hybrid Round-the-Clock (RTC) battery-enabled project.

In a statement, ReNew said this is the largest External Commercial Borrowings project finance loan in India’s renewable energy sector.

It has signed a power purchase agreement with the Solar Energy Corporation of India for the project to build wind and solar farms in the states of Karnataka, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra.

The project will compete against the supply of fossil-fuel-based energy providers like coal, it said.

“This loan—the single-largest project finance in India’s renewable sector—highlights the interest of global lenders in ReNew as it helps spearhead India’s historic clean energy shift and shows its continued ability to access financing at much lower rates than several years ago, despite the current volatility in the currency markets and a rising interest rate environment,” ReNew CEO and President Sumant Sinha said.

ReNew partnered with Mitsui & Co., which holds a 49% stake in the project.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
