Overview of our ESG highlights
Our sustainability strategy is based on four strategic pillars – promoting socio-economic prosperity, ensuring safe and secure operations, supporting and developing our people, and respecting the environment – which are aligned with the 13 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals that are most relevant to us. These form the basis of our Sustainability Performance and Reporting Framework. Further details on this are included in the Sustainability section of the website.
Savannah’s Power Division aims to deliver utility scale renewable energy projects across Africa, generating clean, competitively priced electricity for millions of households. We are involved across the entire project life cycle, taking projects from greenfield development through to long-term ownership and operation. We have a portfolio of large-scale hydroelectric, solar and wind renewable energy projects in motion across Africa. Additionally, we have announced our planned acquisition of minority interests in three flagship East African hydropower assets, marking our expansion into five new countries: Uganda, Malawi, Burundi, the FRC and Rwanda. This includes the Bujagali power plant which currently contributes up to 31% of Uganda’s effective energy capacity. Mpatamanga and Ruzizi III are advanced-stage developments which are expected to generate highly competitively priced electricity in their respective countries for the benefit over 30 million people.
