Mwangaza Sekhukhune Solar PV
About Mwangaza Limpop Solar
Mwangaza Limpopo Solar is a utility-scale solar PV + BESS development in Limpopo, South Africa, planned at 340 MW at full build-out. The focus is execution. Projects are progressed through a defined development pathway, with governance and project structuring designed to support investment and long-term operation.
The portfolio is intended to deliver long-term clean power and contribute to local economic activity and skills development as the projects move through delivery.
Driving Innovation in Risk-Optimized Solar Energy Development
Mwangaza Limpopo Solar is planned as a phased, scalable portfolio. Phase 1, Mwangaza Sekhukhune Solar PV 1, is a 132 MW Solar PV + 100 MWh BESS project that establishes the platform for future expansions and long-term power delivery in the region.
Mining sector partnerships
Mining sector partnerships Mwangaza Limpopo Solar is being developed with mining and industrial demand in mind. We work with potential partners on clear, bankable pathways, including power offtake structures and co-investment where it makes sense, to support reliable supply and long-term project delivery.
Catalyzing Regional Economic Prosperity
Mwangaza Limpopo Solar is being developed in collaboration with the Limpopo Economic Development Agency (LEDA) and the Coega Development Corporation. The objective is to anchor the project in the province’s development priorities and support practical local outcomes, including enterprise opportunities, jobs and skills development, as the project progresses.
Built for Scale
At full build-out, Mwangaza Limpopo Solar is planned to reach 340 MW. The focus is on execution: progressing a utility-scale portfolio through a defined development pathway, with the governance and project structuring needed for investment and long-term operation.
