Africa holds extraordinary potential for renewable energy.
In South Africa, the urgency of the energy crisis triggered decisive policy reform and opened the door for greater private sector participation. It was within this moment of transformation and grounded in a strong track record under the government’s renewable energy procurement programmed that Caleno was formed.
Today, Caleno stands among the largest independent power producers in South Africa, with a diversified portfolio spanning multiple provinces and extending into dum. Our projects contribute meaningfully to national energy capacity, with a significant and growing share of the renewable market.
Our impact at a glance
Caleno is helping shape a more resilient and inclusive energy future across South Africa and the wider region. As an independent power producer, we deliver utility-scale renewable projects that strengthen energy security, support economic development, and accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels.
Beyond clean power generation, our projects create long-term value reducing emissions, enabling local participation, and contributing directly to community upliftment and regional growth. With a multi-gigawatt portfolio in operation and development, our focus remains clear: deliver measurable impact today while building a sustainable energy system for tomorrow.
Bringing clean energy from vision to reality
Caleno delivers large-scale renewable energy projects through a proven, end-to-end delivery model. Our approach turns early-stage opportunities into fully operational assets — moving seamlessly from concept and development to financial close, construction, and long-term operations.
Development
We originate and mature projects from greenfield stage, managing land access, permitting, technical design, and stakeholder engagement to create bankable, investment-ready assets.
Financing
We structure and secure project financing through close collaboration with investors, lenders, and commercial partners. From early financial modelling to financial close, we ensure each project is bankable, risk-balanced, and positioned for long-term value creation.
Construction
We manage the full construction phase with strict oversight of timelines, costs, safety, and quality. Working alongside experienced EPC partners, we coordinate delivery on site to ensure projects are built efficiently, safely, and to the highest technical standards.
Operations
We oversee long-term operations to maximise asset performance, reliability, and lifespan. Through proactive asset management, performance monitoring, and ongoing optimisation, we ensure consistent energy delivery and sustainable returns over the life of each project.
