Our Approach

We are responding to the challenge to generate reliable and climate-sensitive electricity, with a deliberate approach to stimulate economic growth and promote improvements to quality of life.

Promoting Energy Security

The Karabelo Group prioritizes projects that enhance energy security and independence.

By developing self-sustaining initiatives and fostering interconnectivity within the region, we facilitate energy production and distribution by utilising advanced technology and innovation to energy infrastructure, thereby strengthening South Africa's energy landscape.

Addressing the Energy Gap

South Africa presents a unique opportunity for energy companies, as increasing energy demand and high import fuel costs create a favorable pricing environment.

Karabelo has adopted a pragmatic approach, focusing on unused and underutilised gas resources to bridge the energy gap and meet the country's growing needs.

Free State Project

Karabelo’s Free State Energy and Infrastructure programme showcases our comprehensive approach to project development, encompassing a strategy that aims to maximize the potential of the area's resources while contributing to local economic prosperity and regional energy security.

Investing in People and the Planet

Karabelo Energy Solutions (KES) is a specialized energy company committed to new growth in low and no-carbon technologies.

Our purpose is to provide viable solutions for the energy needs of the communities where we operate and within the critical industries of South Africa.
