We develop, invest
and advise on
energy transitions.

Puro Partners develops, finances and advises on utility-scale renewables — solar, wind, battery storage, green hydrogen and powered data centres — across MENA, Sub-Saharan Africa and Europe.

§ 01 — Activities

Five technologies.
One bankable discipline.

From greenfield origination through financial close and operations. Our team has originated, structured and delivered projects across every technology below — we advise on what we have actually built.

— 01 · Solar PV

Utility-scale solar

From site selection to COD. Single-axis tracker plants, C&I rooftops, and hybrid greenfield.

— 02 · Wind

Onshore wind

Feasibility through permitting, financial close and PPA. Red Sea, Morocco and North Atlantic basins.

— 03 · Storage

Grid-scale BESS

Frequency regulation, capacity markets and hybrid co-location with solar and wind.

H2
— 04 · Hydrogen

Green hydrogen

Electrolyser-based H₂ and green ammonia structured around long-term offtake.

— 05 · Data Centres

Powered data campuses

Renewably-powered hyperscale campuses for AI-era load growth. Co-located generation.

§ 02 — Transaction Advisory

We know what bankable looks like
because we have built it.

Our team has originated, structured, and delivered utility-scale renewable energy projects from greenfield to COD — we apply that execution knowledge to every transaction we advise on.

Deal security

LOIExclusivityNDANon-compete

Transaction documentation

Project structuring

SPV formationEquity + MezzanineTariff negotiationCross-border
Capitalisation, governance and jurisdictional optimisation — grounded in structures we have successfully built and financed. We do not advise on structures we have not tested.
Typical engagement · 6–16 weeks · SPV incorporation, shareholder governance, equity waterfall and mezzanine co-investment agreements. Jurisdictional selection across UAE, Morocco, Tunisia, Kenya and francophone Africa.

§ 03 — How it works

A development playbook,
not a consulting framework.

Shaped by the realities of delivering projects in complex markets — refined across multiple transactions from origination to financial close.

01
Mandate

Scoped from experience

We scope the transaction against comparable projects we have already closed — identifying real execution risks and lender requirements before work begins.

02
Documentation

Closed-standard drafting

Full transaction suite drafted to the standard our team has successfully closed on. Every clause reflects operational reality, not legal theory.

03
Negotiation

Developer-side credibility

We negotiate with the authority of a team that has sat on the other side of the table — and that counterparties recognise immediately.

04
Close

Delivered to financial close

We carry the transaction through CP satisfaction, disbursement and COD — staying on the mandate until the project is operating.

We've walked this road before.
Let's walk yours together.
