About

African Earth Energy Group is advancing South Africa's clean energy revolution with the 12 MW Stanford Solar Farm in Western Cape's Stanford region. By harnessing the region's abundant sunlight, this project delivers reliable renewable energy, promoting economic growth and environmental stewardship in local communities.

Project Impact

Set for grid connection in 2029, Stanford Solar Farm will reshape Western Cape's energy landscape by generating 12 MW of clean power. The project will create 48 direct jobs during construction, 144 indirect jobs, and 6 permanent positions, enhancing local employment and sustainable development.

Carbon Emissions

Stanford Solar Farm will reduce CO₂ emissions by approximately 7,840 metric tons annually, equivalent to removing ~1,704 passenger cars from the road each year (based on ~4.6 metric tons CO₂/car/year). This initiative supports South Africa's climate goals, contributing to a greener future.

Location

Located in the sun-rich Stanford region of Western Cape, Stanford Solar Farm is ideally positioned to maximize solar energy production. The region's high solar irradiance ensures optimal performance, making this project a key driver of sustainable energy development in South Africa.


Interested in Partnering

We're excited to partner with landowners for collaborative projects. If you have unused farmland and are interested in exploring solar development opportunities, please reach out for an initial consultation.
