phanes group

Phanes Group is an international solar developer, investment and asset manager, strategically headquartered in Dubai, UAE, and operating across Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and the Commonwealth Independent States (CIS). 

Our end-to-end business model brings together fully-fledged in-house capabilities, including expertise in project development, structured finance, capital markets, and legal and regulatory affairs. Lean and agile, our structure enables us to deliver utility-scale, distributed, and off-grid solar PV projects.

We take a holistic approach to solar, uniting the competencies and expertise necessary to oversee and deliver the entire solar project value chain.

From project selection and development, to construction and financing, to asset management and monetization, we unlock value through our integrated approach.

The company is currently delivering the Middle East’s largest distributed solar project (the DP World Solar Power Programme) and has delivered Phase I of the largest solar project in the Caribbean (Monte Plata). It is approaching financial close on a 47 MW project in Malawi and has begun development on a pipeline of 400 MW across three countries in Central Asia.

To date, Phanes Group’s global clean power contribution is in excess of  100 MW, with a further 2.5 GW under development or at the planning stage globally. 


The name Phanes

In Greek mythology the name Phanes refers to Apollo-Phaneos, the deity of light. It is also a group of early coins that were made of "electrum", a material that could not be debased and was famous for its superior stability in value, even higher than that of gold.

These two connotations represent the essence of the Phanes Group. With our distinct focus on developing renewables and specifically solar investments, we want to create superior assets that generate stable and predictable long-term yields for our partners and us.
