South African independent power producer Red Rocket helps businesses access reliable, cost-effective and sustainable energy solutions. Business Development Director, Davide Pasi, speaks to Engineering News at PROPAK Cape 2026 about the company’s track record and robust growth.

“Red Rocket offers a comprehensive suite of services, including renewable energy generation, energy supply, and tailored commercial offerings designed entirely around our clients’ needs,” says Pasi.

Red Rocket’s renewable energy assets include 1 729 MW of wind, solar and hydro in operations and under construction, and another 3 838 MW moving to financial close. “Looking ahead to 2028, our converted pipeline will total 5 545 MW, of which 4 596 MW will be fully operational or under construction.”

“Over the next five years, our goal is to convert an additional 6 000 MW from our massive 17 660 MW development pipeline through both government programmes and private offtakers.”

Red Rocket’s compelling offerings for the packaging and processing industry include cost management and operational efficiency. “Energy is a massive operational input for this sector,” says Pasi.

“It feeds heavy, continuous processes like raw material melting, extrusion, injection and blow moulding, vacuum thermoforming, and cooling systems. For energy-intensive operations like these, the cost and availability of electricity directly dictates production economics – especially as traditional electricity tariffs continue to fluctuate.”

To address this Red Rocket offers tailored clean energy solutions, eliminating the complexity and unpredictability of sourcing power.

“Renewable energy gives businesses alternative supply options and far greater control over their long-term energy strategies. We see a real opportunity here at PROPAK CAPE 2026 to help businesses improve their cost certainty, strengthen their sustainability credentials, and remain highly competitive in a rapidly changing market
