Our Approach

Hulisani is one of the first renewable energy equity investment companies listed on the JSE. We are the go-to partners for sustainable, profitable, clean energy revenue-generating ventures.

Hulisani is well positioned to take advantage of the anticipated growth across all renewable energy categories, supported by positive Government policy and the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA).

Together with our Board and our experienced executive team, we add value to the companies in which we invest by offering strategic insight and active involvement in the management of our portfolio to enhance returns for our stakeholders.

Exceeding inflation

Hulisani partners with reputable and like-minded companies and invests where we believe we can add value to maximise potential upside, which means a return that will always exceed inflation by a significant margin.

Our investment assets, projects pipeline and potential transactions are diversified and designed to consistently deliver guaranteed returns above CPI, which enables long term cashflow predictability.

CPI + 6%-8% = Target for long-term net return for our acquisitions

We currently focus on assets in South Africa, where we continue to build on our reputation for reliability, credibility and innovation. At this point we are seeking to grow our shareholding in existing operations to consolidate our foundation and growth.

Expansion into Sub-Saharan Africa is the logical next step, where we will consider opportunities in assets already in operation as well as developing those that are ready for bid.

Investment Opportunities

Hulisani identifies and invests in the most promising electricity generation prospects. We look for positive operating leverage with a very long-term investment horizon and consider any of the clean power energy investment projects for due diligence, including:

Wind Energy

Wind power is a cheap and sustainable form of energy that can be established in many areas in southern Africa. When implemented correctly, wind power projects can substantially reduce energy costs due to the generally short payback period.

Hydro Power

South Africa has a mix of small hydroelectricity stations and pumped water-storage schemes. As long as there is water available, energy generated from waves, tides, waterfalls and rivers will always be available.

Solar Energy

Solar energy is the most readily accessible resource in South Africa. With the development of the country’s solar-equipment industry, it lends itself to a number of potential uses. Solar energy is also suited to providing power in remote locations, as well as for independent consumers such as mines, office buildings and shopping centres. The added advantage of solar power is the long term cost predictability

Peaking Power

Peaking power stations are able to react quickly to changes in demand and supplement power generated by base load stations when required, to avoid power supply disruptions.

Clean Coal

By sourcing internationally-proven Circulating Fluidised Bed (CFB) technology it is possible to build new power generation plants fuelled by discarded coal that meets all its atmospheric emission permit levels without any post-combustion.

Biomass Power

To generate electricity, biomass power uses plant material which includes agricultural residues, wood waste, paper trash, municipal solid waste (MSW), energy crops and methane captured from landfill sites.

Energy Distribution

Distribution connects all energy consumers and provides access to electricity, giving people the opportunity for employment, education and various means to enjoy a better life. Access to energy distribution opportunities is a crucial component of the energy value chain, and is a hey focus in Hulisani’s energy investment strategy.
