Securing Major Projects

In October 2025, SWREL was awarded a Letter of Intent (LoI) for a 115 MWp DC solar photovoltaic (PV) project in South Africa, valued at approximately $120 million. This project marks SWREL’s third venture in the country, following the successful execution of two previous projects.

Addressing Tax Reassessment

In September 2025, SWREL received a revised tax demand from the South African Revenue Service (SARS). The initial demand of ZAR 80.47 million was reduced to approximately ZAR 18.90 million after reassessment. The company is currently reviewing the revised demand and its implications.
