Red Rocket is an integrated renewable energy IPP that develops, designs, constructs, operates, and owns utility-scale grid-connected renewable energy projects (wind, solar, hydro and biomass) with operations in multiple countries across Africa. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Cape Town, Red Rocket was originally set up as the Africa and Middle East business unit of Building Energy’s global operations. Red Rocket’s portfolio comprises 377 MW of projects in operation, under construction and awarded under public and private bids. The Group is also developing a portfolio in excess of 2 GW of additional best-in-class wind, solar, hydro and biomass projects to bid under future rounds of South Africa’s renewable energy independent power producer procurement programme (“REIPPPP”), and other procurement programmes across various African countries. Red Rocket’s growth strategy is based on pursuing a balanced portfolio of renewable assets both in terms of geography, market maturity as well as currency exposure (ZAR, USD, EUR). From a technology perspective, Red Rocket is and will remain active in wind, solar, hydro and biomass. Today the group has over 75 employees located in South Africa and Uganda.

#RocketeersAtWork Janine Brasington E&S Manager Team: Sustainable Investments “Red Rocket is a place to flourish.” Looking back at my Red Rocket journey, it has been an experience of unbelievable transformation. One could say that I came here as a baby! I feel that Red Rocket is a place to flourish and while our work doesn’t come without challenges, the beauty of it all is achieving something great in the end. Through our projects, we have brought forth something that was otherwise unimaginable, and this fills me with pride. Today, as we increase our momentum, it’s inspiring to have all these projects being constructed and operating from the ground up. This is because being part of something that started small is so fulfilling that you get the sense that you are part of the vision. I can proudly say that it is impossible to separate myself from the growth of the company after maturing so much from being a student. It is enriching to do something I studied for, solving challenges every day. This is what I thrive on, and I look forward to more opportunities for growth as we become more creative in tackling whatever comes our way.
