Golden Sky Energy Group has been entirely self-funded by the founders through initial startup to present day operations. Our overall funding model is based on self-sustainability, meeting all short term funding requirements through our own capital, commodities trading, project development and management activities.
Strategic Overview
Maintaining this base operating level has afforded GSEG the opportunity to progress longer term plans with an unpressured, controlled and systematic approach, allowing GSEG to identify, evaluate and secure multiple international major capital project opportunities. These major capital project opportunities require significant capital expenditure, minimum USD $100m – $1 billion and GSEG has plans in place to address these funding requirements together with international financial partners. For our past and current projects, the overall finance secured to date is in excess of USD $3.5 billion with proof of funds from recognised international banks.
The founders of GSEG are also considering listing the company on the main board of the London Stock Exchange within a five year timeframe. This brings the additional benefits of transparency on all our global activities, independent regulatory oversight, partial exit mechanism for the founders, legacy planning and the opportunity for new institutional and private investors to share in the future growth of the enterprise.

Estates & Infrastructure Exchange (EIX)
GSEG has a strategic partnership with London based Estates and Infrastructure Exchange (EIX) as a platform to raise independent project finance. EIX, who are Authorised and Regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority, is the first exchange to focus exclusively on estates and infrastructure as an asset class. The main instruments financed and traded are Project Bonds for worldwide infrastructure and development projects.
EIX was established to help bridge the USD15 trillion infrastructure investment funding gap by 2040 with the trillions of dollars of private capital, both foreign and domestic, searching for a home. Through two models, EIX will transform an illiquid asset class into a liquid one and can enable reduced regulatory capital requirements under Solvency II.
