Our Vision for Renewable Energy

Lesedi’s renewable energy division is dedicated to the development, construction, and operation of clean energy projects from medium-scale rooftop solar to utility-scale power plants. Whether for Independent Power Producers (IPPs) or private clients seeking to focus on their core operations, we offer full turnkey and outsourced renewable energy services that meet the moment and the mission.

We believe in doing business with integrity, accountability, and respect for the planet. Our work is grounded in a deep understanding that energy is not just a commodity; it’s a tool for social transformation. By unlocking sustainable energy solutions, we contribute to energy security, economic upliftment, and climate resilience.

What We Offer

Backed by decades of engineering excellence and project experience, including partnerships with international energy leaders such as Framatome (formerly AREVA), Lesedi brings world-class capabilities to every project.

Our track record spans solar, biomass, and hybrid energy solutions, and we were among the first South African firms to bid exclusively on biomass renewable energy projects.

  • SOLAR ENERGY: Energy efficiency and optimization consulting services for high-efficiency solar panels and photovoltaic systems for residential, commercial, and industrial use.
  • WIND ENERGY: Advanced wind turbines and wind farms designed for optimal energy capture and minimal environmental impact.
  • HYDROELECTRIC POWER: Innovative hydroelectric systems harnessing the power of water to generate clean energy.
  • BATTERY STORAGE: Cutting-edge battery storage solutions ensuring reliable and efficient energy distribution.
  • O&M SERVICES: We provide reliable and cost-effective O&M services to ensure optimal performance and longevity of our clients’ investments.

Scaling Up For Impact

With a project pipeline exceeding 250 MW of rooftop and ground-mounted solar PV at various stages of development, Lesedi is strategically positioned for sustainable and accelerated growth.

We are deeply engaged in South Africa’s energy transition and ready to scale across the continent.

City Of Cape Town COCT – Atlantis 7MW Solar PV Project

This project involved the full EPCM (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management) scope for a 7MW solar PV installation for the City of Cape Town.

It represents a bold move toward municipal energy independence and is one of the largest PV projects in the region.

Newinbosch Precinct Development

Newinbosch is a sustainable development proudly leading the way in Africa. It’s the first in South Africa and Africa to achieve a 6 Star Green Star Sustainable Precincts v1.1 Certification, setting a new standard for eco-friendly urban living.

The precinct has also been awarded EDGE Advanced certification, signifying residential units that are 40% more energy efficient and 20% more water and material efficient than industry norms.

Upcoming certifications include Net Zero Ecology, 5 Star Green Star for the Grappa Shed, and Net Zero Carbon, confirming the project's deep commitment to sustainability across both the community and infrastructure.

The Newinbosch Renewable Energy System blends solar, grid, battery, and future-ready generator inputs to form a resilient microgrid. This ensures no load shedding up to Stage 3 and uninterrupted, limited power from Stage 4–8.

The energy component is led by Broadreach and Lesedi.

Other innovations include an urban farm, green infrastructure, waste management systems, and waterwise irrigation, all reinforcing the goal of becoming the greenest neighbourhood in Africa.
