- A changing energy system
South Africa’s Just Energy Transition (JET) is a long-term national effort to expand renewable energy capacity while supporting energy security, industrial growth and economic stability.
- about the just energy transition
Led by the Presidential Climate Commission and outlined in the JET Implementation Plan, South Africa’s transition aims to reduce reliance on fossil fuels through renewable energy, green hydrogen and new energy industries.
The strategy also focuses on supporting workers and communities affected by the gradual shift from coal-based energy systems.

- south africa’s energy transition
South Africa’s energy transition requires additional generation capacity, grid infrastructure and long-term investment in new energy systems.
As older coal-fired power stations are decommissioned over time, the transition must balance decarbonisation with energy reliability, economic stability and regional continuity.
Coal and renewables are therefore being developed in parallel to support energy security while enabling long-term transition objectives.
- The strategic objective of seriti green
Seriti Green is advancing South Africa’s Just Energy Transition through a delivery-focused approach rooted in South African ownership, capital and operational capability.
With 100% South African ownership and more than 60% black ownership in a sector historically dominated by international developers, Seriti Green contributes to the transition through practical implementation in coal-dependent regions.
Our projects support:
Additional generation capacity
Industrial energy resilience
Long-tetm infrastructure investment
Regional economic participation
Decarbonisation objectives
Grid-enabling infrastructure
Local procurement
Skills development
Long-term employment
Infrastructure investment
- The role of seriti green
Seriti Green’s projects contribute to renewable generation capacity, transmission infrastructure and long-term regional participation in Mpumalanga and other energy-intensive regions.
This includes:
The Main Transmission Station constructed by Seriti Green and formally handed over to Eskom in 2025 enables up to
2GW of future renewable generation capacity.
- The future of JET
Seriti and Seriti Green are demonstrating that energy security, economic stability and a Just Energy Transition can be delivered together.
Through infrastructure development, local employment and coordinated partnerships, Seriti Green contributes to South Africa’s transition through practical, measurable implementation.
