SSC Energy
Putting power in the hands of the people.
SSC Energy is an emerging 100% South African black-owned alternative energy developer.
Company Overview
SSC Energy is an emerging 100% South African black and majority black-women-owned Level 1 B-BBEE contributor, and is built on the belief that clean, reliable energy should be accessible and affordable to everyone in our country.
The company’s purpose of accelerating energy independence, initially in the mining sector, is becoming more vital, especially in current times where the country’s power grid is constantly under pressure, and load shedding leaves both businesses and communities in the dark.
It aims to achieve this by developing generation plants in conjunction with its strategic partners.
SSC Energy is a member of the SSC Group and enjoys the full benefit of the support structure offered by the diverse group of companies. This gives SSC Energy the distinct advantages of being well established in the industry, as well as being backed by appropriate technical, operational, financial and legal skills.
