About this guarantee

Last updated: August 2026

RLSF is a guarantee instrument provided by ATIDI to renewable energy Independent Power Producers (IPPs) that sell the electricity generated to state-owned power utilities and Independent Transmission Projects (ITPs) developing infrastructure to move renewable energy for state-owned entities. RLSF was created to help tackle climate change and attract investments by supporting renewable energy projects in ATIDI ’s member states. RLSF supports small and mid-scale renewable energy projects with an installed capacity of up to 100 MW by protecting the IPPs against the risk of delayed payments by public offtakers (larger projects can be considered on a case by case basis); in turn, improving project bankability and ensuring that more projects reach financial close.
