Honoured to attend the Mpumalanga State of the Province Address this morning where Premier Mandla Ndlovu recognised the progress of the Just Energy Transition in the province. A special moment was standing with Freddy Mkhwanazi of HMI Projects, one of the entrepreneurs helping to build the Ummbila Emoyeni wind project. Freddy founded his company 15 years ago and today employs 82 people on our site, many from Bethal, Davel and Morgenzon. Seeing local businesses grow and create jobs through world class infrastructure projects is exactly what this transition should deliver. #JustEnergyTransition #JET #Mpumalanga #LocalEnterprise #WindEnergy #SeritiGreen #EnergySecurity #Seriti

@GCISMpumalanga Delivering social and economic benefit to our host communities is at the centre of what we do. Look forward to the engagement and ensuring success of the people of Mpumalanga.

Seriti Green’s Social and Economic Development has pledged to align its programmes with the Mpumalanga government priorities. Through their Agri for Change programme, Seriti provides emerging agricultural entrepreneurs with technical expertise, business development skills, and enhanced market access.#MPSOPA2026 #GovZaUpdate Premier @Mandla_Ndl

@Mandla_Ndl thank you for the kind words today. Know we are here to work alongside the Province to improve Mpumalanga for its citizens.

I'm proud that #Mission300 has connected 39 million people across Africa to electricity—creating jobs and powering homes, businesses, schools, and hospitals. We’re making real progress; onward to 300 million by 2030. worldbank.org/en/programs/en… #PoweringAfrica

Having complimentary wind energy generation across South Africa’s geography is key to balance the solar PV construction. The energy supply needs to be a balanced mix of multi technologies and geographies.

@talkcentss And we own 100% of our wind energy projects in Mpumalanga.

Seriti Green is an independent power producer and subsidiary of coal miner Seriti Resources. The ownership Structure of Seriti Green is: 🟩 Seriti Resources = 𝟱𝟰.𝟭𝟵 % 🟩 Standard Bank = 𝟭𝟱.𝟰𝟭% 🟩 Rand Merchant Bank (RMB) = 𝟭𝟱.𝟰𝟭% 🟩 VennEnergy = 𝟭𝟱% Read on:

@DeanMacpherson Minister thank you for the support. We look forward to hosting you on site. Creating jobs and small businesses in Mpumalanga is critical for the Just Energy Transition.

Another project reaching financial close with the support of Infrastructure SA! Let’s keep going! 🔥🔥🔥

@Eskom_SA @Seriti_Green Being part of record substation build in Mpumalanga is a fantastic accomplishment for Seriti Green and for the Just Energy Transition. Well done team

Unlocking 900MW of Renewable Energy for South Africa South Africa’s clean energy journey marked an important milestone today with the handover of the Vunumoya Main Transmission Station (MTS) by Seriti Green to Eskom and the National Transmission Company South Africa (NTCSA). The R1 billion, 18-month project is now fully energised, operational, and integrated into the national grid. It enables the first 155MW from Seriti Green’s Ummbila Emoyeni One Wind Energy Facility to be integrated into the grid ahead of schedule, kick-starting a 900MW renewable energy rollout that positions Mpumalanga as a growing clean energy hub. Built with advanced 400kV and 132kV infrastructure and a 500MVA transformer, the station is ready for future expansion. Phase 1, originally planned for March 2026, has been accelerated to deliver energy from 28 November 2025, supporting Seriti Resources’ decarbonisation goals.

SA’s systemic problems of economic decline and underdevelopment can be solved by appointing capable and ethical leaders in schools, hospitals, SOEs, municipalities, provincial and national government. #LeadershipMatters #ProudlySA

@mteton It is a truly a breakout moment. Well done to Eskom and all that has made this a possibility.

Eskom's Energy Availability Factor exceeding the 70% target the board set for the generation fleet. So proud of this team. Cheering the team on for swimming as they should 🤣😂🤣. #Eskom #KeepGoing

The project’s anticipated total capital investment spend will be R70 billion. R385 million will go towards funding small and medium sized businesses and social development projects. mpmirroronline.co.za/electricity-mi…

🎥[CLOSING REMARKS BY MINISTER RAMOKGOPA - SERITI GREEN PROJECT]: “We are resolving an economic problem by using energy as an instrument, as a lever to to resolve that question.”

@Kgosientsho_R Only a pleasure to have you on site in Mpumalanga. Thank you for governments partnership in getting this off the ground. #JETinAction

(1/2) 🎥: With a total of 900 MW (750 MW of wind and 150MW of Solar) and 800MWh of battery storage located 20 kilometers from the nearest coal power station.

The energy transition is about action and not words. All mining companies have a responsibility towards their local stakeholders to ensure that their transition is formulated about skills, job opportunities and on the ground support. Creating jobs and opportunities is hard and one needs to be purposeful about this. Mpumalanga, especially the Highveld has a huge opportunity to succeed but all role players need to working towards a positive jobs outcome.

@uhuru2456982 @Mandla_Ndl Looking forward to expanding this footprint. The skills created here will go on to build many projects in Mpumalanga and further afield in years to come.

@pcvenn @Mandla_Ndl The amazing part is that this is happening on deep rural areas and we have seen massive employment of Locals and Local businesses are taking part on this JET project.

A historic first for Mpumalanga!  We’ve erected the first wind turbine at our Ummbila Emoyeni Wind Energy Facility—221m tall and a symbol of SA’s #JustEnergyTransition. @Mandla_Ndl #UmmbilaEmoyeni #WindEnergy #RenewableEnergy #MpumalangaFirst

@uhuru2456982 @Mandla_Ndl All of the first 75 turbines are the same. 130m tall and 91m blades.

@pcvenn @Mandla_Ndl So Mr Venn the size of the turbines are not the same? Because the other components are big while they are not installed?

@Moneyweb @MMkhabel It is pity that JET projects are being implemented and donors are kept away by the raft of consultants and gate keepers. The best way to do these projects is to engage with the people on the ground.

Who’s really cashing in on SA’s just transition funds? A new report reveals how global consultants profit off both climate solutions and fossil fuels. #Moneyweb #ConsultingCrisis ow.ly/2B2m50Whi3m
