ReNew Power Expands Its Footprint: Pioneering Renewable Energy in South Africa
Johannesburg, South Africa – October 27, 2025
ReNew Power, India’s leading renewable energy company, has announced its strategic entry into the South African market, marking a significant milestone in the nation’s transition to sustainable energy. This expansion aligns with South Africa’s ambitious goals to diversify its energy mix and reduce carbon emissions.
Strategic Investment in South Africa’s Renewable Energy Sector
In August 2024, ReNew Power secured a substantial stake in the Great Karoo Phase 1 (Ptw) Ltd project, a joint venture with Norsk Renewables and Valinor. This project encompasses a 300 MW wind farm and a 300 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) facility, both situated in the Northern Cape province. The investment underscores ReNew Power’s commitment to leveraging its expertise in large-scale renewable energy projects to support South Africa’s energy transformation. (norskrenewables.com)
Collaborative Efforts to Accelerate Renewable Energy Deployment
ReNew Power’s entry into the South African market is part of a broader trend of international collaboration aimed at accelerating renewable energy deployment in the region. Notably, in June 2025, the PNE Group achieved financial close for the 240 MW Khauta South Solar Park, with construction slated to commence shortly. This project, sold to the South African energy company NOA Group Ltd., exemplifies the growing interest and investment in South Africa’s renewable energy sector. (renewable-energy-industry.com)
South Africa’s Renewable Energy Landscape
South Africa is experiencing a significant surge in renewable energy development. The Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP) has been instrumental in integrating renewable energy into the country’s electricity mix, with 123 projects awarded to the private sector as of 2023. These initiatives have collectively contributed to reducing carbon emissions and advancing the nation’s energy transition. (en.wikipedia.org)
