Projects & Milestones

CapNova is currently in the Land & Permitting phase for Copperbelt projects, designed for scalable grid connection and hybrid PV + storage operation.

Governance principles

  • Compliance-first approach (permits, licences, safety, and environmental)
  • Clear decision-making, documentation, and approvals
  • Risk management and change control throughout development
  • Transparent reporting for partners and investors

Project controls

  • Milestone-based planning (Land → Grid → Permitting → Feasibility → Investment → Delivery)
  • Document control and version management
  • Vendor due diligence and procurement governance
  • Quality assurance, commissioning, and handover standards

Policies & compliance

We maintain a structured KYC/AML approach for counterparties and adopt a zero-tolerance stance on bribery and unethical conduct. Formal policies can be provided on request.

Development Timeline

Phase 1 (0–3 months): Land & Permitting
Land identification, municipal engagement, preliminary grid corridor screening.
Phase 2 (3–9 months): Studies & Applications
ESIA, formal grid impact / feasibility study initiation, licensing pathway preparation.
Phase 3 (9–15 months): Structuring & Financing
Offtake discussions, investor/lender engagement, project company structuring.
Phase 4 (15–24 months): EPC & Commissioning
EPC appointment, construction, grid connection, commissioning.

Battery Storage – High-Level Assumptions

Phase 1 (10 MW)

Baseline: 10–20 MWh (1–2 hrs). Final sizing confirmed after grid studies and PPA structure.

Scale-up (30 MW)

Baseline: 60 MWh (2 hrs). Used for peak shifting, voltage support, and curtailment reduction.

Utility-scale (50–100 MW)

Baseline: 100–400 MWh (2–4 hrs). Enables hybrid dispatch and stronger offtake options.
