“We are dedicated to accelerating the transition to renewable energy by enhancing its attractiveness and availability as investments. Our offering seamlessly bridges the gap between investors seeking competitive returns and the accelerated deployment of large-scale solar plants.”
-Marcus Jacobsson, (Sunshine Fund)
& Didric Cederholm (Lion Point Capital)
The Problem
Global electricity production is the single largest CO2 emitter, releasing 24 gigatons every year - over a third of total emissions. Phasing out fossil fuels rapidly is key to achieving a net zero vision. Solar, combined with battery storage, is a renewable, reliable and cost-effective solution, but progress is hindered by three bottlenecks:
1. Access to Capital in a Volatile Macroeconomic Environment
2. Material and Labor Supply
3. Permitting and Grid Connections
The Solution
By creating opportunities for attractive, low-friction returns, Sunshine Fund is actively working to unlock investment at the scale needed for a global shift to abundant, low-cost renewable energy. Our strategy tackles these bottlenecks through;
Texas Energy Community Project: A solar power- and storage installation with a capacity of 150 MWac, slated for groundbreaking in Q1 2025. Additional projects of similar size are planned to follow quarterly.
California Central Valley Opportunity Zone Projects: Two solar power- and storage projects, each with a capacity of 250 MWac. The first is projected to break ground by the end of 1H 2025.
New Mexico Energy Community Initiatives: Multiple solar and storage projects (each 150 MWac size) alongside a manufacturing facility, anticipated to begin construction in early 2026.
Post-fee base case IRR is expected to exceed 10% for debt participants, with even higher returns for equity stakeholders. Sunshine Fund combines strong returns with domestic production efficiencies, supported by incentives from the US Government that promote local jobs and clean energy development.
Our partnership with Suniva, a leading domestic solar cell manufacturer controlled by Lion Point, ensures high-quality production and substantial domestic content, as Suniva scales production by mid-2024.
Sunshine Fund is committed to driving the renewable energy transition with solutions that not only address today’s supply and regulatory challenges but also actively contribute to the broader goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions. Each project we undertake accelerates the phase-out of fossil fuels and fosters a sustainable energy ecosystem for future generations.
Jigar Shah, Director of Loan Program Office, DOE is an inspiration to us:
”Climate wealth is created when mainstream investors team up with entrepreneurs, corporations, mainstream capital, and governments at scale to solve the big problems of our time while generating compelling financial returns – not concessionary returns.”
