Revego manages third party funds and provides intermediary services on a discretionary basis. As a fund manager, Revego is responsible for sourcing and managing of investments in operating renewable energy projects in South Africa and the broader sub-Saharan Africa.
The South African Competition Commission has given the go-ahead for Revego to acquire shareholding in Aurora Wind Power, and post-merger, Aurora will be jointly controlled by Revego as well as existing shareholder Engie.
The tribunal also approved a second merger at the same sitting whereby Revego will acquire sole control over special purpose vehicles (SPVs) Genesis Khobab Wind, Genesis Loeriesfontein Wind and Genesis Noupoort Wind.
The three Special Purpose Vehicle’s (SPV) hold a noncontrolling interest in wind farm projects in the Northern Cape.
