Sample Finance Journo Requests

Indian MSMEs & FIs & Vendors - Fuel Switching & Electrification Cases

Are clean energy investments actually working—and being financed—in Indian MSMEs? We are conducting a landmark research study to map how clean energy technologies are financed and deployed across MSMEs in India. To build an evidence-backed roadmap for ecosystem stakeholders, we are inviting MSMEs, Financial Institutions, and Technology Vendors to participate in detailed case study interviews. We are looking to feature cases focused on fuel switching (fossil fuels to RE/electrification) and process system transformations implemented or financed within the last 2 to 5 years across key Indian industrial clusters (especially high-carbon emission regions). Technologies Deployed could be: Renewable Energy: Rooftop solar (RTS), solar thermal, solar-blended solutions. Electrification: Industrial heat pumps, electric boilers, zero-emission process units. Energy Recovery: Waste heat recovery systems, regenerative energy recovery. Energy Storage: Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), thermal/capacitive storage. Showcase your industrial enterprise or technology solution as a frontrunner in India's clean energy transition journey and share best practices with others to support the transition. If you represent an MSME, financial institution, or technology vendor that fits these parameters—or know an enterprise that should be featured—please drop a comment below #MSME #CleanEnergy #EnergyTransition #Decarbonization #ClimateFinance #RenewableEnergy #IndustrialSustainability

Infrastructure Finance Professionals in Nigeria - Financing Mix

Infrastructure Finance, Explained. #01 Nigeria doesn't have an infrastructure problem because we don't know what to build. We have an infrastructure financing problem. The ICRC estimates Nigeria's infrastructure gap at about $2.3 trillion. We need roughly $100 billion a year, and government spending covers less than 30% of that. The 2026 budget shows why. Of ₦68.32 trillion in total expenditure, ₦15.8 trillion goes to debt service. Government should still finance infrastructure, but it can't carry the whole load. Different pools of capital can play different roles: ▪️ Government: policy, guarantees, viability-gap funding, regulation ▪️ DFIs: de-risking, patient capital, project preparation ▪️ Pension funds and insurers: long-term local capital ▪️ Private investors: equity, expertise, operational discipline ▪️ Capital markets: a wider pool of long-term money We already have proof this works. InfraCredit reports ₦324 billion in guaranteed infrastructure debt, 27 projects at financial close, and 20 pension fund investors, with tenors of up to 20 years. My take: government, DFIs, institutional investors and private capital aren't competitors. They're layers of the same financing structure. ₦1 of public money used to prepare a project, absorb a risk or enhance credit can unlock several naira of private capital. The World Bank Group mobilised a record $112 billion in private capital in the fiscal year ending June 2026, alongside $123 billion of its own financing. So the question isn't only "where do we find more money?" It's also "how do we structure projects so the money that already exists can work together?" That takes better project preparation, clearer risk allocation, predictable regulation, credible revenue models and deeper local-currency capital markets. If Nigeria needs about $100 billion a year, what should the ideal financing mix look like across government, DFIs, pension funds, banks and private investors? I'd like to hear from people working in infrastructure, finance and development. #InfrastructureFinance #Nigeria #PPP #CapitalMarkets #InfrastructureDevelopment
