Welcome to the show im Stephen Beardsley in berlin deliver hero is the newest member of germanys blue chip dax index a place in the insolvent and scandal hit wire card the food Delivery Firm boast broad reach and growing revenues but it has yet to turn a profit lets take a look.

Different Business Model different industry. Compliance compliance departments back to 2016 already been generous so we take compliance extremely seriously. Think the only thing we have in common is very German Company because in germany. Despite an established global footprint delivery hero is yet to deliver a profit it says its focus is on growth and will be for the next year or so simple. Over the after now where new figures show that in nigeria the coronavirus pandemic has taken a heavy toll on the countrys economy new figures show that the country entered negative g. D. P. Growth in the 1st half of the year a nationwide curfew bans on international and Domestic Travel and closure of markets each contributed to a 6 point one percent contraction compared to the 2nd half of last year brings an end to a 3 year run of positive growth in the country. Well today in south africa 95 percent of energy is produced in large coal fired power plants but by 2030 the government envisions that a chunk of the countrys energy will come from renewable sources like wind solar and hydro power a some Smaller Companies are already getting an early start on the transition. One year ago the Protea Heights Academy school in cape town when solar without having to pay for installation this system was financed by a crowd funding platform the idea small investors buy panels and earn an income from selling the electricity to the school that is using them. Like this is a mess so far Abraham Cambridge is crowdfunding platform quipped over 30 schools and companies these lines within 5 years they plan to have more than 200. 00 additional systems installed. So if you want to put money in solar panels for an environmental reason put them in south africa youre offsetting 8. 00 times the Carbon Emissions by the side of an hour here its africa than it would do in germany for example and youre getting twice as much electricity out of it so it just makes more sense to put a solar power away you create more social environmental and Economic Impact and for the School Solar Energy is cheaper than power from the grid with investments as little as 4 euros senates change is also open to people with less income in fact many of the pupils and protea heights invested in the solar cells themselves wendy horne the schools former principal says that the project also brings another benefit besides Clean Cheap Energy so we need always that yeah kids are so excited aliveness to actually get evolved into pinero things and actually buy still sells them selves and see how the money would increase or decrease or whatever i mean it was it created a huge interest in nearly excitement and then just what do you want to teach our children for the features into premier or skills innovative models to fund and produce green energy are urgently needed in south africa the government aims to produce a quarter of all electricity from renewables by 2030. And im joined now by Abraham Cambridge was featured in that piece and is founder of sun exchange abraham welcome to the show you said in that piece that you get more bang for your buck basically investing in solar when it comes to clean energy i take it that Energy Production right now in south africa is very very dirty yet the energy mix in south africa is one of the toughest in the world in fact the. Soccer is about 1. 3 kilograms in germany its about less than point 3. 00 so youre looking at a huge. Carbon in who are the investors for sun Exchange Walk us through the. Crowdfunding platform when you can donate money to projects and get things kick started a new way of opening the panels if you will sat in an apartment and you might want to be generating solar power for economic environmental reasons. To put solar panels on through some exchange the click of a button you could have a tunnel deployed on top and one of the sunniest places on earth so the people who use something to change all of the areas from all walks of life from many countries our latest project was to our wine cellar here in south africa 500 kilowatt system about people about 85 countries around the world. To Power Projects it really is a very diverse. From around the globe so a Diverse Group of investors why are local utilities making this investment. Well the projects we deploy are on the smaller smaller scale and utilities generally care about big scale generation you know centralized power stations the future we believe is embedded generation solar panels deployed at the point of use and those projects tend to be too small for major project finances to care about but at the same time these are the kinds of high social impact projects that many people around the world want to see deployed so people who want to see schools and education powered by solar energy and then make an income as well this is the kind of product which is ideal. Impact investment orientated mindset we see that south africa has a plan to go to more renewables in its energy mix what does that mean for Companies Like yours in terms of scaling up and selling back to the grid is that something thats possible right now or in the future yeah in cape town specifically we are now already exporting power during times when the producing so so school for example the School Energy consumption has dropped so this is being sold to the grid which is im being used as we go forward i can imagine a future where the utility and decentralized Energy Producers so edge produces will Work Together so when the grid is under strain they can the door energy from solar power produces smart grid which is especially to be revolutionized when things like batteries and batteries are deployed into grid roads mccreight of smart grid whether we can Work Together to make a strong dynamic grid all right Abraham Cambridge founder of sun exchange thanks for joining us there from think scarse.
