Anglo American, a global mining company, and EDF Renewables have announced their agreement to form a new jointly owned company, Envusa Energy, to develop a regional renewable energy ecosystem (RREE) in South Africa. EDF Renewables
have announced their agreement to form a new jointly owned company, Envusa Energy, to develop a regional renewable energy ecosystem in South Africa. EDF Renewables is an international leader in renewable energy. It has a gross installed capacity of 15.6 GW worldwide. Its development is largely driven by wind and solar photovoltaic power. Battery storage projects have also recently started to form part of its portfolio.
The two companies had signed a Memorandum of Understanding earlier this year to explore the ecosystem’s development, designed to meet Anglo American’s operational power requirements in South Africa and support the resilience of the local electricity supply systems and the wider decarbonization of energy in the country. The RREE is also expected to catalyze economic activity in South Africa’s renewable energy sector, supporting the country’s broader just energy transition.
Nolitha Fakude, Chair of Anglo American’s Management Board in South Africa, said: “I’m delighted to confirm our ground-breaking partnership with EDF Renewables to form Envusa Energy. This is a significant milestone in Anglo American’s global decarbonisation journey and another step forwards for South Africa’s clean energy future.
