Investment in private power generation projects in 2025 reaches R158bn

20th March 2026

     

Font size: - +

South Africa’s national energy regulator says investment in private power generation is now in the hundreds of billions of rands. The close to 600 new projects registered with Nersa in 2025 is the highest number in eight years and so too is their investment value, which is estimated at R158-billion.

The new projects had a total capacity of 7 464 MW, which is 3 300 MW more than the projects registered in 2024.

Ninety-eight per cent of the generation projects registered with Nersa since 2018 are either wind or solar PV or a combination of the two.

Electricity generation projects with a point of connection to the electricity grid and an installed capacity of more than 100 kW must register with Nersa.
