Solar generation
Utility-scale photovoltaic infrastructure designed to supply decentralised electricity to the municipality and potentially other users through wheeling.
Project Portfolio · Eastern Cape, South Africa
Inxuba AgriPV Project
Utility-scale solar generation, battery storage and productive agriculture combined within one integrated land-use model.
Project Overview
One site. Two productive uses.
The project concerns a 100 MWp Agricultural Photovoltaic power plant in the Inxuba Yethemba Local Municipality. It integrates utility-scale renewable-energy generation with commercial cultivation beneath and between the solar structures.
A 30 MWh battery energy storage system is planned to support grid stability and supply reliability. The AgriPV layout will be engineered around appropriate height, spacing, airflow, light penetration and access for agricultural operations.
Selected crops currently envisaged include spinach, cabbage and onions. Specialist German AgriPV engineering expertise will support system design and performance optimisation.
Investment Highlights

R 2.05Stated PPA tariff per kWh
25 yearsInitial project term
Project status, tariff, capital requirement and contractual arrangements are based on information published by the developer and remain subject to independent technical, legal, regulatory, commercial and financial due diligence.
Integrated Project Model
Energy, storage and agriculture
02
Productive agriculture
Crop cultivation beneath and between elevated PV structures increases land productivity and creates a second economic activity on the site.
03
Battery storage
A 30 MWh BESS is intended to improve supply reliability, grid stability and operational flexibility.
Revenue & Governance
Mechanisms supporting long-term operation
Municipal electricity salesElectricity is intended to be supplied under a long-term municipal power-purchase arrangement.
Wheeling potentialExcess generation may be wheeled through the grid for sale to additional users.
Smart prepaid meteringDeveloper-managed metering is intended to improve monitoring, revenue collection and loss control.
Project SPVA dedicated SPV is intended to manage project revenues and distributions to relevant stakeholders.
Agricultural productionThe dual-use design allows the land to generate both electricity and agricultural output.
Regulatory pathwayThe project anticipates registration and compliance with applicable National Treasury and NERSA requirements.
Development Impact
Infrastructure designed for resilient local value
↯Decentralised renewable electricity
◉More productive use of land
♧Reduced crop heat and water stress
＋Local agricultural and technical employment
Investment Opportunity
Participate in a large-scale AgriPV development
The project is seeking suitably qualified equity, debt, infrastructure and strategic partners capable of supporting the development, financing and implementation of the solar, storage and agricultural components.
