PROJECTS IN CONSTRUCTION
ViGo is a shareholder in the Oya Hybrid Project, a 335MW wind, solar and battery storage facility now under construction. With 128MW of contracted capacity, Oya is one of the first projects in South Africa to combine three technologies on a single site to deliver dispatchable renewable power, and forms part of the Risk Mitigation Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (RMIPPPP).

LAND OWNERS
DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE
DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE
Leasing land for renewable energy production offers farmers a chance to diversify their land use and create an additional income source. By installing solar panels or wind turbines, they can capitalize on the increasing need for clean energy while maintaining their agricultural activities. This not only strengthens their financial stability but also enhances land value and supports sustainable practices, contributing to a greener economy.

DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE
DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE
The development process for a renewable energy facility, which can take between 3 -6 years (Solar PV up to three years and Wind up to six years), encompasses several crucial steps to ensure the project's successful execution. These steps include identifying suitable land, obtaining necessary permits, conducting thorough environmental impact assessments, actively participating in government tender processes, and achieving financial close before construction can begin. Every stage is crucial for developing a sustainable and compliant energy project.
