The South African Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE) has granted six Environmental Authorisations for Renewstable® Mpumalanga projects — a key step towards full permitting.
About the projects:
– 1,782 hectares awarded under the Eskom MWP1247GX land lease tender (2022)
– 8 large-scale Renewstable® hydrogen power plants strategically located near Eskom’s Majuba & Tutuka coal-fired stations in the Mpumalanga province
– South Africa’s first large-scale green hydrogen initiatives
– Potentially the largest green hydrogen power plants in the world
These plants will deliver 24/7, baseload renewable power to 1.4 million inhabitants by integrating solar energy with large-scale on-site energy storage in the form of green hydrogen — reinforcing grid reliability and advancing South Africa’s transition to a cleaner energy future. They are positioned to contribute meaningfully to national energy security and economic development priorities.
