Whether you are running a mine, factory, farm, or property portfolio, we can offer you reliable green, cheap energy, built around your business.
As one of South Africa’s leading Independent Power Producers (IPP) and a NERSA-licensed GenTrader, we own and operate utility-scale wind, solar, and hydro projects. That means when you partner with us, you’re tapping into real assets, not speculation.

EV Charging
We install and manage charging stations at your site, at no cost, while sharing the revenue with you and charge EVs from the renewable energy we produce.
We Own the Power Plants
Unlike pure traders, we are a GenTrader, we develop, we build, own, and operate the projects. We have a portfolio of assets. That makes our supply more reliable, flexible, cost-effective, and sustainable over the long-term.
Tailored Contracts
We customise our proposal to match your generation profile and walk the power journey together to address your business needs.
Future-Ready Advantage
With mechanisms like the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment (CBAM) and Carbon Tax, reducing your carbon footprint isn’t just good for the planet, it keeps your business competitive now and in the future.
Proven Track Record
With nearly a gigawatt of power already delivered, we bring unmatched experience and stability to every partnership.
Transparent Savings
We track your energy use every 15 minutes, compare it against the national grid WEPS/Megaflex (LPUs use Megaflex), or Municipal tariff and deliver clear monthly and yearly reports.
A Name You Know
We are trusted by South Africa’s leading industries.
Insight
This is where we get to know your operation and how it runs. We’ll first evaluate your latest 12-month electricity bill to shape your ideal solution.
This allows us to understand your consumption profile vs our generation profile to give you maximum savings.
We will then determine the appropriate generation asset for you.
Vision
Here, we look at what could work best for you from our offering, not just what’s available.
It’s a chance to uncover smarter, more efficient ways to power your business. Our simple plan shows you:
• A look at your expected savings so you can see the difference for yourself.
• How much of your carbon footprint you could offset, based on your projected CO₂ reductions.
Implementation
With nearly a gigawatt of power already delivered, we bring unmatched experience and stability to every partnership.
This is where everything comes together into something that feels tailored to you.
We match your needs with the most reliable, cost-stable, and low-carbon solution.
Once our proposal is accepted, we move forward with a Heads of Terms and a formal agreement.
This will then be finalised close to the date of the first electricity delivery.
Delivery
Once everything is in place, the implementation becomes straightforward and easy. You’ll know what’s coming, and how your new energy set-up will support your business every day.
Support
As your energy needs evolve, we’ll be right there with you. Ours is an ongoing partnership, making sure your solution keeps delivering real value.
Yes, there are many traders in the market, but Red Rocket’s longer history and ownership of generation assets mean better saving and peace of mind.
We cut out the middleman, ensuring your energy is both affordable and dedicated to your needs.
Red Rocket Renewable Energy FAQ

Red Rocket develops, operates, and owns utility-scale renewable energy projects to produce clean electricity across Africa. (link to our projects page)
A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) gives your business access to renewable energy at a low, reliable cost. You get price certainty; a solution tailored to your needs and get to address your decarbonisation targets.
It depends on your energy goals. Usual utility-scale PPAs last for about 10, 15 to 20 years, but this will be different depending on your needs.
No. Every solution is tailored to each business. We take into account your energy usage, location, and goals to create a renewable energy plan that’s right for you.
CBAM stands for Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. It’s a new rule from the European Union that puts a price on carbon emissions for products imported into the EU. For businesses, this means the more carbon your operations produce, the higher the potential cost when trading internationally. Using renewable energy solutions from Red Rocket can help reduce your carbon footprint, keeping your business competitive and future ready.
