The Coega Green Ammonia Project has successfully secured its Environmental Impact Assessment Records of Decision for the R14 billion, 1230 MW Crossroads Green Energy Cluster.
The Giga-scale solar project in De Aar, co-developed by Hive Hydrogen, Akuo Energy Afrique, Africoast Investments, and Golden Sunshine Trading, has begun construction and will now proceed to the next stage of grid connection.
The Crossroads Green Energy team has developed this project on time and well within budget the professionalism and dedication everyone has shown is truly exceptional, said Thulani Gcabase , Chairman of Hive Hydrogen SA.
Africoast, Golden Sunshine Trading, and Akuo Energy are co-developing a 6000 MW pipeline of solar energy and wind energy projects, notably for the Coega Green Ammonia projects. The Crossroads Green Energy cluster is being developed for phase 1 of the Coega Green Ammonia Project, while the remaining projects will be moving through a phased development to meet the future demand in Coega and potential other offtakes. We are proud to be working together with Hive Energy to realise these strategic projects, said Don McGillivray of Africoast Investments.
Hive Energy's $5.8bn green ammonia project, producing over 1 million tons annually, is a flagship investment in South Africa. Tabled at the Presidential Investment Summit in Sandton and granted Strategic Integrated Project Status in November 2022, it is set to significantly boost the economy in the Eastern, Northern, and Western Cape Provinces.
