Several commercial users are turning to renewable energy suppliers to lower their fuel bills and meet decarbonisation goals.
The proposed investment aligns with IFC's priorities of backing businesses with positive social or environmental impact. However, the deal could face delays as ReNew's management prioritises delisting the company's parent
ReNew Energy Global Plc
from Nasdaq, according to multiple sources. Till then all other strategic transactions are on hold, they said.

ReNew's founder Sumant Sinha along with Masdar, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and Platinum Hawk have announced an offer to take the US-listed parent private and buy out all public shareholders.
IFC and ReNew Power did not respond to ET's queries on the matter.
Gurugram-based ReNew's C&I unit has set up 2 gigawatts (GW) of electricity generation capacity for commercial users. The contracts are structured in a way that typically requires the user to make an investment in a captive power unit that generates electricity exclusively for the entity.
As of March 31, the company's overall portfolio consisted of 17.3 GW of wind and solar power projects. This compares with 13.5 GW as of March 31, 2024. The C&I portfolio is a sub-component of its total
power generation capacity
.
The company has mobilised capital worth $680 million through the sale of assets, divestment of minority stakes and forming joint ventures over the last 36 months.
Some of its recent deals include the sale of a 51% stake in Karnataka-based
Koppal Narendra Transmission Ltd
together with a 300 MW solar project in Rajasthan to KKR-sponsored IndiGrid for Rs 2,100 crore. It also sold a portfolio of rooftop solar projects of 138 MW capacity to TPG Capital-backed Fourth Partner Energy for Rs 672 crore.
'Going forward, the group is expected to mobilise capital through complete asset sale and selling minority stake to strategic partners in various assets and some of the other key projects like module manufacturing, C&I sub-holdco among others,' said a recent CARE Ratings report. ReNew posted a total income of Rs 10,907 crore ($ 1.27 billion) in FY25. The company website says it's among the top seven renewable power producers globally. It posted a net profit of Rs 459 crore in FY25.

EU chief von der Leyen heads to Scotland for trade talks with Trump
EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen headed to Scotland on Saturday ahead of a meeting with US President Donald Trump on Sunday afternoon, commission spokespeople said, as EU officials said the two sides were nearing a trade agreement. Trump, in Scotland for a few days of golfing and bilateral meetings, told reporters upon his arrival on Friday evening that he was looking forward to meeting with von der Leyen, calling her a 'highly respected' leader. He repeated his view that there was a 50-50 chance that the US and the 27-member European Union could reach a framework trade pact, adding that Brussels wanted to 'make a deal very badly'. If it happened, he said it would be the biggest trade agreement reached yet by his administration, surpassing the $550 billion accord agreed with Japan earlier this week. The White House has released no details about the planned meeting or the terms of the emerging agreement. The European Commission on Thursday said a negotiated trade solution with the United States was within reach, even as EU members voted to approve counter-tariffs on 93 billion euros ($109 billion) of US goods in case the talks collapse. To get a deal, Trump said the EU would have to 'buy down' that tariff rate, although he gave no specifics. EU diplomats say a possible deal between Washington and Brussels would likely include a broad 15% tariff on EU goods imported into the US, mirroring the US-Japan deal, along with a 50% tariff on European steel and aluminum. The broad tariff rate would be half the 30% duties that Trump has threatened to slap on EU goods from August 1. It remains unclear if Washington will agree to exempt the EU from sectoral tariffs on automobiles, pharmaceuticals and other goods that have already been announced or are pending. Combining goods, services and investment, the EU and the United States are each other's largest trading partners by far. The American Chamber of Commerce in Brussels warned in March that any conflict jeopardized $9.5 trillion of business in the world's most important commercial relationship.
