2.2 Vision Statement
“To be the leading climate-aligned renewable-energy infrastructure platform in Southern Africa — creating shared, measurable value for investors, communities, and the planet.”
2.3 Mission Statement
AGEH’s mission is to deliver affordable, reliable, and sustainable
clean-energy infrastructure that accelerates South Africa’s just energy
transition, reduces dependence on fossil-fuel baseload, strengthens
national energy security, and catalyses inclusive economic growth. The
Company aims to achieve this by combining institutional-grade governance
and project-finance discipline with deep local relationships, community
participation, and an unwavering commitment to the IFC Performance
Standards.
2.4 Core Values
- Integrity — uncompromising adherence to ethical, regulatory, and
ESG standards. - Engineering Excellence — best-in-class technical due diligence
and operational discipline. - Inclusive Prosperity — embedding community ownership and BEE
participation into every project. - Climate Ambition — delivering measurable Scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon
avoidance for our offtakers. - Investor Stewardship — protecting and growing capital with
predictable, contracted returns.
2.5 Strategic Objectives 2026-2036
The Plan defines six strategic objectives that together constitute
the success criteria against which the Board and management will be
measured:
| # | Strategic Objective | Target by 2030 | Target by 2036 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Installed renewable capacity | 550 MW | 1,500 MW |
| 2 | Annual electricity generated | 1,550 GWh | 4,200 GWh |
| 3 | Annual CO₂ avoided | 1.1 Mt | 3.0 Mt |
| 4 | Direct jobs created (cumulative) | 2,720 | 5,800 |
| 5 | BEE ownership level achieved | Level 2 | Level 1 |
| 6 | Cumulative community investment (ZAR m) | 316 | 950 |
2.6 Business Model
AGEH operates a fully integrated, equity-and-debt funded
renewable-energy IPP business model centred on long-tenor contracted
revenue streams. The Company assumes the role of developer, owner, and
operator across its entire portfolio. Each project is housed in a
ring-fenced Special Purpose Vehicle (“SPV”) to enable non-recourse
project financing, isolate construction and operational risk, and
facilitate future portfolio refinancing and exit options.
Revenue is contracted under four primary structures, each calibrated
to a distinct customer segment and risk profile:
- REIPPPP / Government PPAs — long-tenor (20-year) USD-or-ZAR
indexed tariffs with the South African Energy Buyer (an Eskom
subsidiary), supported by National Treasury guarantees. - Corporate PPAs — bilateral 10-to-15-year contracts with
creditworthy industrial, mining, retail, and data-centre offtakers,
structured via wheeling arrangements and Eskom’s use-of-system tariff
framework. - Battery Energy Storage IPP Programme (BESIPPPP) —
capacity-payment-and-energy-charge contracts with Eskom for
grid-balancing and ancillary services. - Ancillary Services & Energy Trading — revenue from frequency
regulation, reserve provision, and (post-2027) participation in the
South African Wholesale Electricity Market once it is operationalised
under the Electricity Regulation Amendment Act.
