World-Class Solar and Wind Resources
South Africa's Northern Cape province hosts nearly 60% of the country's installed solar PV capacity, benefiting from solar irradiance levels among the highest globally. Complementary wind resources along the Eastern and Western Cape coastlines have made South Africa Africa's most active large-scale wind procurement market. These natural advantages directly underpin the cost competitiveness of SA-based renewable projects and form the physical foundation of the country's green hydrogen ambitions, including the government's target of 10 GW of electrolyser capacity in the Northern Cape by 2030.
