Mpumalanga: The home of Africa’s
largest green hydrogen power
projects
Hydrogène De France (HDF) is a French Independent Power Producer specialising in hydrogen-power. HDF has expanded its operations into the Southern African market, demonstrating a strong commitment to contributing to South Africa's energy needs. The cornerstone of this commitment is the recent launch of six projects under the banner of Renewstable® Mpumalanga (RMPU). These six projects represent a significant step forward in South Africa's pursuit of sustainable energy solutions.
What sets RMPU apart is its focus on renewable electricity baseload power plants. This is a strategic move that addresses a key challenge associated with renewable energy sources – their intermittency. By prioritizing non-intermittent power generation, RMPU ensures a stable and reliable energy supply for South Africa. This approach not only enhances energy security but also facilitates the integration of renewable energy sources into the country’s energy mix. This, in turn, contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with South Africa’s climate ambitions.
