JUWI South Africa
Accelerating the African Energy Transition
In Africa, harnessing renewable energy sources plays a crucial role in combatting energy poverty. It allows us to deliver essential energy services while safeguarding both human health and our precious ecosystems. Moreover, it paves the way for economic growth, supporting development and industrialization.
JUWI South Africa is committed to spearheading and expediting this vital energy transition across the African continent. Since opening our doors in 2011 we have grown our team from less than 5 people to over 130.

What we do
We help Independent Power Producers (IPPs) as well as Commercial and Industrial clients bring their wind, solar and hybrid projects to life.
We develop Wind, Solar PV, and Hybrid power plants.
Our Project Development scope covers the vast majority of tasks that need to take place before a power plant can enter the construction phase, including:
- Site identification and screening studies
- Landowner negotiations
- Resource measurement campaign
- Technical development and permitting
- Investor selection and tender submission
- Final pre-construction development
Since 2011 we have developed over 800 MW of Wind and 1,500 MW of Solar PV Projects to "Ready-To-Bid” status with many more megawatts on-route. Furthermore, several of the projects we have developed are in construction or successful operation. These are a testament to JUWI’s commitment to delivering high-quality renewable energy solutions.
We offer Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) services for Solar and Hybrid power plants.
Our EPC team takes care of everything from designing the power plant to procuring components and services, as well as overseeing the construction phase and infrastructure development.
Our skilled engineers tailor each power plant to match the specific on-site conditions. We ensure the use of top-quality components and provide expert assistance in financing.
