Renewable energy specialists strive to improve communities in South Africa
Our Story
AEEG was founded to give local people in South African communities a stake in the green energy revolution. Ensuring that the solar power, wind power, and battery storage projects we would develop benefit everyone involved – including farm owners with unused land and the people in their communities.
We knew that the thousands of acres of unused agricultural and industrial land in South Africa could be transformed for the good of both local people and planet earth. We are dedicated to putting communities right at the heart of all our projects.
Today, we work with local landowners, governments, municipalities, businesses, and communities to turn idle land into productive green energy installations. Whether we're developing 100MW solar farms or state-of-the-art wind power installations, we take pride in creating jobs and prosperity for local people in South Africa.
The Community-Minded Renewable Energy Company
African Earth Energy Group (AEEG) is a sustainable energy company that focuses on the design and delivery of large-scale solar and wind farm installations in South Africa. What sets us apart from other green energy specialists, however, is our unwavering commitment to improving communities – and the lives of people within them.
Our sustainable energy experts identify and secure viable sites for wind and solar farms. We then work closely with our partners to raise the finance required to fund them. From that point, we act as hands-on project managers throughout the construction phase – delivering jobs for local people and healthy returns for stakeholders.
We are on a mission to bring renewable energy closer to local people – one large-scale wind or solar power project at a time.

Social Development
While we understand the need to make green energy infrastructure profitable, we believe that the transition to renewables has the power to benefit everyone – from wealthy investors to local people struggling to make ends meet.
We aim to work closely with local people in their communities to improve lives and neighborhoods. At the center of our mission is the desire to educate, create jobs, and develop more equitable economies on the African continent.
The world is in the middle of a hugely significant period of change. AEEG is determined to play a leading role in that change. However, our involvement isn't limited to reducing carbon emissions – it's also about delivering long-term and sustainable societal change to ensure the African economy delivers for everyone.
