Lodestone to launch Series D capital raise for Phase 2 solar project

Eight more solar farms will be developed.

Lodestone Energy is set to launch its Series D capital raise in the third quarter of 2024 to fund its Phase 2 solar programme that will fund the development of more solar plants across New Zealand.

In a statement, the company said the capital to be raised will be used to build eight more solar farms, adding 470 gigawatt-hours of new solar to the local market.

“Lodestone’s Phase 2 programme is set to be larger in scale, with three confirmed South Island farms and additional sites expected to be announced this year,” the company said.

“Lodestone will continue to adopt an agri-voltaic design across all its sites, which maximises the production of electricity and maintains productive farming,” it added.

The company has appointed Forsyth Barr, a New Zealand owned investment firm, and Barrenjoey, an Australian financial services firm, to lead the capital raise.

This development comes after Lodestone’s equity raise of $55m earlier this year which funded the pre-construction of its Phase 2 projects.

Lodestone has raised $600m in total capital across its Phase 1 and 2 portfolios.

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.
