Nepsa Energy
Nepsa Energy is a South African based Independent Power Producers (IPP) Project Developer and Investor with a project portfolio in various stages of development. Its core focus is run of river hydropower projects within the 2 MW – 10 MW range. Hydropower projects can produce base load-type renewable energy and can be scaled up and combined with solar. Electricity generated at a hydro plant can be wheeled to a load anywhere in South Africa – resulting in clean energy, cost savings and impact on poor communities situated around the project site.

Nepsa’s core focus is project development and structuring and it would partner with leading EPC players and or contractors to execute construction and operations. It would typically fund and manage the development process from initiation to financial close and would team up with third parties during subsequent project phases.
