Connecting energy
and progress

GreenLink is more than just connecting two regions – it’s a vision. A 450-kilometer-long high-performance corridor connecting energy, water, hydrogen, and data across provincial borders.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

With a total length of approximately 450 kilometers, GreenLink is one of Africa’s most ambitious infrastructure projects. The corridor connects the power generation site in the Northern Cape with the industrial and urban centers of the Western Cape.

It is the link between the four major projects of the KAHRE Renewable Energy Group and enables the transport of green electricity, hydrogen, ammonia, water and data – all along a common, state-of-the-art route.

The lifeline
between energy,
industry
and the
future.

GreenLink is the backbone of a new energy economy – a symbol of connection, progress, and responsibility.

CORE COMPONENTS

integration of several systems

This integration of several systems into a common route reduces environmental impacts, simplifies approval processes, and enables
resource-efficient implementation – a first in African infrastructure planning.

LOCATION

THE
GREEN LINK
CORRIDOR

The GreenLink corridor begins at the southern edge of the KTE.energy project area in the Northern Cape and runs for approximately 450 kilometers along the Sishen – Port Saldanha railway line towards the southwest.

It passes through vast, sparsely populated areas, follows existing easements, and finally reaches the coastal region of the Western Cape at Velddrif, in the immediate vicinity of the Velddrif projects, Water & Power and EcoVision Velddrif.

plan 2050

GreenLink is an integral part of the South African Hydrogen Society Roadmap (HSRM) and the National Infrastructure Plan 2050.

It is coordinated with government agencies, research institutions, and private stakeholders to connect national and international energy and export strategies.
