Hydrogène De France plans to invest $3 billion in green energy in Standerton, Mpumalanga, marking the development of Africa's largest green hydrogen power projects. The ambitious project includes installing 1,500MW of solar PV combined with 3,500MWh of hydrogen storage to inject stable electricity into the grid 24/7. This endeavor is projected to mitigate up to half of Eskom's load-shedding stages, providing reliable electricity to around 1.4 million people continuously. South Africa's transition to renewable energy is further supported by the 20 green hydrogen projects across the country, with Mpumalanga hosting key developments like the Renewstable Mpumalanga project. The Renewstable initiative, driven by HDF Energy, aims to conclude registration and permitting processes by 2025, contributing to the region's energy transition. By leasing land from Eskom near coal-fired power stations, HDF Energy is set to emerge as a pioneer in green baseload power plants, offering grid-stabilizing power that complements traditional renewables. The collaboration between Eskom and independent power producers reflects a strategic approach to expedite new-generation capacity, with the potential for further exploration into green hydrogen technologies.
