Husk Power Systems, the rural clean energy services leader in Africa and Asia and operator of the largest fleet of community solar microgrids in India, has successfully closed a INR 310 million ($4.2 million) debt financing from the India Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) Ltd.

Besides the IREDA loan, Husk expects to raise an additional $18 million in debt in 2022 to fuel accelerated project deployment, while also kicking off fundraising for a Series D equity round in Q1.

The company has built a robust project pipeline in both India and Africa, and expects to have about 1,300 grids in operation by 2025 across multiple markets.

The new India debt, part of a line of credit provided by German development bank KfW to IREDA to assist developers in scaling off-grid energy projects, will be used to finance 140 microgrids in the states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, where Husk Power has been serving rural communities since 2008, including thousands of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs).

The IREDA loan to Husk represents the biggest debt financing for rural microgrids in India to date.

IREDA is a state-owned non-banking financial institution (NBFI) under the administrative control of India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). It promotes, develops and extends financial assistance to renewable energy projects.

“The IREDA financing demonstrates the Government of India’s vision in making microgrids an

integral part of its net-zero goal put forward at COP26,” said Manoj Sinha, Husk CEO and Co-Founder. ”This is a huge validation of Husk Power’s leadership in being the first company to achieve commercial scale. The IREDA funding will give Husk a much-needed boost to achieve our target of expanding our microgrid fleet 10x by 2025.”

Added Husk CFO Naveen Garg: “We’re extremely grateful to IREDA, KfW and technical consultants PwC for the close collaboration that made this financing possible.”

Husk Power Systems recently signed an Energy Compact with the United Nations, committing to build 5,000 microgrids with 1 million connections by 2030 in India, Nigeria and other countries in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa.
