SolarAfrica has secured R1.5 billion in funding to construct SunCentral 2, a 114 MW solar plant in Northern Cape, South Africa, with first power expected in 2026. This project, financed by RMB and Investec Bank Limited, will enhance energy access for businesses and follows the earlier financial close of SunCentral 1.

Together with SunCentral 3, these projects form the initial phase of a broader 1 GW capacity vision. The initiative includes community upliftment programs and will strengthen the national grid through a dedicated Main Transmission Substation, designed for up to 2 GW capacity.
