Provaris Energy’s Post

Excited to formally announce our new venture today: The EBA Strategic Battery Materials Fund. Over the past 18 months I’ve been meeting with evaluation-phase extraction, refining and recycling projects in Europe and in the EU’s new raw material partnership countries. The objective: how can we take the EBA’s industrial battery ecosystem building and InnoEnergy’s unique capital and de-risking of start and scale -up businesses to create a more resilient upstream and circular battery raw materials supply - the weak link in Europe’s fast-growing downstream and application battery value chain. The European Green Deal, towards meeting Net Zero 2050, can only be achieved by expanding the secure supply of raw materials. Now front-and-centre of policy, as evidenced by the new Critical Raw Materials Act, strategic battery material supply activity needs to catch-up in Europe. The EBA Materials Fund’s scope is to fund and de-risk extraction, refining and recycling projects through to FID, with the aim to help close the supply gap and exceed CRM Act targets into the 2030s. We are also targeting new process technology as an enabler for a more efficient value chain, and new material requirements of battery technology coming to market in future. All while meeting the expected sustainability and traceability requirements of European battery customers. Thanks to the hard work of Ilka von Dalwigk, Thore Sekkenes, Wouter Folkers, Diego Pavia, Elena Bou, Karine Vernier, and many more colleagues behind the scenes on the InnoEnergy team, for getting to this milestone. Looking forward to working with our new partner Demeter, and Societe Generale as financial advisor as we start our book build. Contact me to learn more. #batterymetals #fundraising

Following Actis’ acquisition and rebrand of ORYGEN this spring, we’ve achieved a new milestone for this platform.   On 26 September, we achieved the largest ever single tranche Peruvian private corporate bond issuance and the largest capital markets debt raise in Actis history by issuing a US$1.2 billion 10-year bond with a yield of 5.746%. This represents just a 70-bps spread to Peruvian sovereign bonds and a 195-bps to US treasuries. The bond achieved investment grade ratings from all three major credit rating agencies.   The bond issue saw significant investor appetite, with over US$5 billion in demand, being 4.1 times over-subscribed and achieving over-subscription levels less than 20 minutes following the announcement – a testament to the confidence placed in Actis’ strategy for Orygen, the firm’s strong track record in Latin American energy infrastructure and the strength of current market conditions. The bulk of allocations skewed towards high-profile asset managers in the US and Europe.   The bond marks Orygen's inaugural issuance in the international capital markets and showcases investor appetite towards high-quality Latin American credits.   Well done to all involved: José Arruda Junior, Victor Panetta, Bernardo Graf, Guilherme Chaves De Paula, under the leadership of Alberto Estefan and Nicolas Escallon, as well as the Orygen team.   #SustainableInfrastructure #SustainableInvesting #Finance
