Unites INOX Clean Energy’s integrated renewable platform, RJ Corp’s deep operational footprint across African markets with SkyPower’s renewable expertise.
DUBAI, DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, February 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — INOX Clean Energy, part of the INOXGFL Group, together with RJ Corp Limited and in conjunction with SkyPower, today announced the launch of a fully integrated renewable energy platform designed to deploymore than 10 gigawatts (10+ GWs) of solar-powered infrastructure across Africa at industrial speed and scale.
Through an equal joint venture between INOX Clean Energy and RJ Corp, the partnership has acquired SkyPower Services MENA Ltd., establishing a scalable Independent Power Producer (IPP) platform focused on high-growth African markets including Zambia, Zimbabwe, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Immediate Execution: 570 MW Phase One, Multi-GW Pipeline.The first phase of deployment targets approximately 570 MW of renewable energy capacity, with commissioning to follow completion of transaction formalities.
The broader portfolio forms part of a multi-gigawatt development pipeline supported by:
• Sovereign-backed Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) at attractive tariffs
• Structuring designed to materially limit payment and counterparty risk
• Targeted project IRRs exceeding 20%
• Secured land and evacuation infrastructure
• Anticipated debt funding from multilateral institutions
Construction on initial projects is expected to commence in the coming months, marking the transition from contractual certainty to physical execution.
Longer-term objectives include:
• 2.5 GW of installed renewable capacity in Africa by FY29
• Alignment with INOX Clean’s broader target of 10 GW IPP capacity and 11 GW integrated solar
manufacturing capacity by FY28
