We are proud to partner with Mulilo and Air Products South Africa on a transformative 75MWAC solar PV power plant in the Northern Cape. The Ukuqala Project marks a significant step in advancing South Africa’s renewable energy transition and securing a low-carbon future.

As Joint Mandated Lead Arranger, Absa successfully provided debt financing and ancillary services for the Ukuqala Project. Air Products South Africa, a leading industrial gas supplier and Mulilo, a pioneer in renewable energy, are working together to deliver clean energy solutions that drive economic growth, support local development, and strengthen South Africa’s renewable energy sector.

Absa’s involvement in facilitating this deal demonstrates our commitment in sustainability financing and supporting clients in achieving their environmental goals. The 75MWAC solar PV power plant not only delivers critical environmental benefits, such as reducing carbon emissions and diversifying energy supply, but also serves as a catalyst for innovation in South Africa’s energy landscape.

Our longstanding relationships and expertise in the renewable energy sector played a pivotal role in bringing this project to life. Together, we are building a more sustainable and resilient future for all South Africans.
