JERSEY ENERGY DEVELOPMENTS is our project company that is developing a pipeline of wind and solar projects in the Humansdorp area of the Eastern Cape. Our local partner is prominent, local, dairy farmer Mr. Migo Meyer who had the original ambition of building a wind farm on his own land. This single wind farm has evolved into a wind and solar project development company that has secured the land access rights to develop and generate 1GW of wind and solar energy in the area. Discussions have already begun with Eskom to collaborate in building the required transmission infrastructure to evacuate the electricity generated by this project. The project will be rolled out, in various stages, over the next decade.
The SUN EXCHANGE have signed an Associate Partnership agreement with The Dimsum Group, a peer-to-peer solar leasing platform that allows anyone in the world to own solar energy-producing cells and build wealth by leasing those cells to power businesses and organisations in emerging markets.

WIND RELIC is Earth & Wire’s privately-owned partner in the development of two significant wind projects in the Eastern Cape – the first, just South of Somerset East and the second, just West of Grahamstown. Once completed, these two utilities will combine to generate over 5000 MW of clean electricity.
CALORE is our biomass energy partner that focuses on providing heat, steam and power solutions to small and large scale industrial customers from various biomass sources. Calore also owns and operates a 6000 ton p.a. pellet manufacturing plant called PelletPower, located at the Boskor Mill in Tsitsikamma producing pellets from sawdust. It is the largest operating, pelletising plant of its kind in South Africa. The business recently conducted a highly successful proof of concept at a large chicken hatchery by converting the coal heating systems to wood chips as the fuel source. Calore is investigating a number of other projects with significant industrial customers.
ALLIANCE ENERGY is an associate partner of Dimsum for the deployment of their business tools and technology. Our two companies benefit from shared opportunities and advances in relevant technologies and renewable energy interests.
