fund overview

purpose of the fund

objectives

opportunitiesCrede Power and Infrastructure Investments (Pty) Ltd (“Crede Power and Infrastructure”) in partnership with Alula Water (Pty) Ltd (“Alula Water”) and Aurecon South Africa (Pty) Ltd (“Aurecon”) are establishing a Water Project Development Fund (the “Fund”) to address water infrastructure challenges in Southern Africa.

Reducing Water Waste:

Improving Water Efficiency:

Addressing Water Demand Deficit:

The water scarcity problem in Southern Africa presents both a major challenge for Southern Africa and a significant opportunity for investors and businesses, including private-public partnerships (“PPP”).

The Fund aims to invest in the development phase of infrastructure projects related to the distribution, processing and management of water and wastewater in Southern Africa, investing in both developing and existingprojects. The main focus of the Fund will be investment in the developmentphase infrastructure projects, specifically post the pre-feasibility phase to financial close, providing both financial and technical support during the development process. The Fund will also consider acquiring equity stakes in existing businesses within the water and wastewater value chain that will enhance the development activities of the Fund. In addition, the Fund will also consider investment in energy projects that promote the efficient use of water on a selective basis.

Fund Objectives• Develop sustainable water projects to address water scarcity

challenges in Southern Africa;• Support water infrastructure projects during development to financial close to allow successful origination and development of infrastructure projects;• Create a platform to support both private and public developers

focusing on water and wastewater projects;• Generate good risk adjusted returns for investors of 20 – 25% (IRR),

while investing in projects with a sustainable development impact;• Balance the delivery of both economic and social returns to investors; • Address water scarcity in Southern Africa, by investing in diverse water

infrastructure projects, contributing to Southern Africa’s water mix and utilisation of different water sources;

• Enhance the reliability and resilience of water and energy systems in the region; and

• Promote high environmental, social and governance standards in investee companies and projects.

Developmental Impact:• Promote social and environmental sustainability of investments

with the water and waste water industry;• Provide access to safe and affordable drinking water in Southern

Africa;• Encourage technologies that promote water efficiency;• Job creation and sustainable economic growth within Southern

Africa; &• Improve standards of living for people in the Southern Africa

region.

Feasibility study completed

Water is an essential life sustaining substance on earth and the most important industrial input to the world’s economy. Southern Africa is more vulnerable to water stress than other regions due to insufficient infrastructure. There is significant regional disparity in sanitation infrastructure between Southern Africa and other regions, with many people in both urban and rural areas not having access to safe drinking water and sanitation services. The water crisis in Southern Africa is driven by a massive backlog in water infrastructure maintenance and investment, recurrent droughts driven by climatic variation, glaring inequities in access to water, and deteriorating water quality.

Most of the water supply infrastructure in Southern Africa was installed decades ago and maintenance has been neglected over the years. This crisis is already having significant impacts on economic growth and on the well-being of everyone in Southern Africa which will be exacerbated if it is not addressed. In South Africa alone, aninvestment of approximately R70,4 billion over the next 10 years is required for national water infrastructure.

While many of the challenges of water security have to do with management weaknesses that result in the ineffective use of existing infrastructure, there are also a range of investments required to optimise the use of, rehabilitate and expand existing water supply infrastructure in Southern Africa.

of approximately R70,4 billion over the next 10 years is
