What We Do

We are active in the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme, which is the South African government-led programme to procure renewable energy. We also participate in large projects to supply industrial and mining customers under private contract.

We develop clean energy projects. We take projects from inception, through feasibilities to financial close.

Kaelo Energy leverages a strong track record of developing, bidding, constructing and operating projects.

Active Investment
Kaelo Energy invests in the construction of projects. We work with all the major South African financial institutions to raise the equity and debt financing needed to build projects.

We are a key player in the rapid growth of the industry into a world-class sector with enormous potential for economic growth, industrialization and job creation. We passionately believe the clean energy transition can catalyze broad-based economic development in South Africa.

Operational Management
We take key roles in the construction and operational management of projects. Kaelo Energy manages contractors and delivers services to projects.

Just Transition

Kaelo Energy believes there cannot be a sustainable clean energy transition without economic justice

What does this mean?

South Africa faces many pressing challenges besides the climate emergency. Chronic unemployment, low economic growth and social development decline are each an emergency. Our response must be integrated. We cannot leave people behind. Fortunately, we believe the clean energy transition is the key to truly broad-based, sustainable economic development.

How are we different?

Kaelo Energy stands out from other players. We are 100% South African-owned and 60% black-owned. From the start, we have put 20% ownership into the hands of broad-based black shareholders.

We are developing a strong South African management team.

Kaelo Energy has put four principles at the heart of its business

01.

Sustainability
Our actions must be good for the environment; must improve the health and well-being of South Africans; and must be in the long-term interests of South Africa.

02.

Inclusion
We must constantly seek to enhance the inclusion of South Africans, and especially local communities, in our projects and business. We must succeed in our mission by bringing South Africans with us.

03.

Localisation
We must build capacity in South Africa, through job creation, upskilling and supplier development. We must be bold and visionary to grow and retain value in South Africa.

04.

Efficiency
We must be excellent in providing the lowest cost, most reliable clean energy possible. Cheap, reliable energy is the highest impact contribution we can make to economic growth and development in South Africa.
