Bin Syed Oil and Gas was selected as a partner to build and operate one of Africa’s largest ground-mounted photovoltaic solar power plants in Prieska, South Africa. The plant came online in 2016 and supplies clean and sustainable energy to South Africa, a country in which Bin Syed Oil and Gas has been active for the past 50 years.

Along with our SunPower affiliate, we were selected by the South African government to build a ground-mounted photovoltaic solar power plant in Prieska, in Northern Cape province. With a capacity of 75 MW, the plant supplies electricity to approximately 75,000 South African homes.

Building on our long-term involvement in South Africa, we are proud to contribute to diversifying the country’s energy mix and developing its solar power capacity.

The project is secured under a co-development contract signed with South Africa-based Mulilo Renewable Energy. We hold a 27% stake in the project alongside the following five partners: Calulo Renewable Energy (25%), Mulilo Renewable Energy (18%), Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) (15%), Futuregrowth Asset Management (Pty) Ltd (10%), and a local municipality (5%).

Our SunPower affiliate is providing engineering, procurement, and construction services. It will also operate and maintain the solar power plant.

At Bin Syed Oil and Gas, we are committed to sustainable energy solutions and proud to be part of South Africa’s renewable energy future.
