POWERING PERFORMANCE
DRIVING ENERGY TRANSITION

As a committed energy partner, Sasol is pioneering renewable electricity solutions that reduce emissions while ensuring reliable, cost-effective supply. With a proud legacy in power generation and more than 920MW of renewable energy secured in South Africa, we are enabling a future where cleaner, sustainable power supports business performance and national decarbonisation goals.

 

WHAT IS RENEWABLE POWER?

Renewable power harnesses natural sources such as solar and wind to produce electricity with minimal carbon emissions. By integrating battery storage and power trading capabilities, renewable electricity can meet today’s operational demands while contributing to a more sustainable energy system.

Sasol is uniquely positioned in this space. With decades of electricity generation experience, we now provide renewable energy directly to customers through power purchase agreements (PPAs) and the SA Wholesale Electricity Market – ensuring dependable supply at scale.

  • An industry leader – one of the largest private procurers of renewable energy in South Africa,
    with ~920MW secured.
  • Proven capability – over 1GW of in-house steam, gas turbine, and engine generation capacity, complemented by new renewable assets.
