Corporate client platform

EDF power solutions entered into a joint venture with Anglo American in 2023 to supply the private sector in southern Africa.

Envusa Energy is the leading Renewable Energy Trading Platform in South Africa, servicing the C&I market in mining and heavy industrials. It aims to develop a 3‑5 GW renewable energy ecosystem by 2030.

Socio-Economic Community Development

Community development is a core part of all EDF power solutions projects, with the developments creating numerous jobs and resulting in key socio-economic development initiatives in the communities they are situated in. This is done under the Grassroots Youth Development (GYD) programme.

Depending on the performance of EDF power solutions’ 4 operational wind farms in the Eastern Cape, GYD allocates funds to various Socio-Economic Development (SED) projects. View our Communities page for a glimpse of some of the key SED projects that have received funding from the GYD programme.
