Empowering Farmers with Solar Solutions: LTM Energy's New Funding Initiative

In today's rapidly evolving agricultural landscape, sustainability and energy efficiency have become critical priorities for farmers worldwide. At LTM Energy, we understand the unique challenges faced by the agricultural sector and are committed to helping farmers overcome them with innovative solutions. We are thrilled to announce our latest initiative: Grant Funding and Soft Loans for Farmers to Install Solar PV Systems, Including Storage.

The Need for Solar Solutions in Agriculture

Agriculture plays a vital role in feeding the world's population, but it also accounts for significant energy consumption and environmental impact. By integrating solar energy solutions, farmers can significantly reduce their carbon footprint, lower energy costs, and ensure a more sustainable future. Our initiative is designed to make these benefits accessible to farmers of all sizes.

Flexible Financial Support for Farmers

LTM Energy has secured grant funding and soft loans to provide financial support tailored to different categories of farmers. Our aim is to make solar energy affordable and attainable for everyone, from smallholder producers to large commercial operations. Here's how it works:

• Smallholder Producer (Annual turnover from R50,001 to R1 million):
• Medium Scale Commercial Producer (Annual turnover from R1,000,001 to R10 million):
• Large Scale Commercial Producer (Annual turnover from R10,000,001 to R50 million):
• Mega Commercial Producer (Annual turnover above R50 million):

For example, a smallholder producer approved for a total financed amount of R700,000 would receive a grant of up to R500,000 (capped at the maximum), with the remaining R200,000 provided as a loan. These caps ensure fair distribution of support across different farming operations, maximizing the number of eligible farmers benefiting from the fund.

Additional Benefits with Eskom Rebates

Beyond grant funding and loans, LTM Energy Group, a Level 1 BEE and over 50% BWO national company, is uniquely positioned as a Tier 1 Energy Services Company (ESCo) to secure Eskom rebates for clients. This makes our solar solutions even more appealing than current tax incentives and accelerates your sustainability journey toward carbon neutrality.

Whether you choose to self-fund your energy projects or explore shared savings models with zero capex, opex, and maintenance costs, our solutions are designed to deliver maximum value and efficiency.
