The segments in focus are, inter alia, solar rooftop solutions, e-mobility/ solar-powered EV charging, RE-powered cooling solutions, agrivoltaics, productive minigrids, alternative sustainable fuels, distributed green hydrogen (associated renewable energy facility), energy solutions and energy-as-a-service.

The facility will extend financial advisory support to selected applicants to help assist them in mobilizing capital.
