GameChange Energy Completes Genius Tracker Installation for Mooi Plaats Solar PV Plant

CAPE TOWN, South Africa, Sept. 16, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- GameChange Energy has completed the installation of its Genius Tracker™ 1P system for the 283 MWp Mooi Plaats Solar PV Plant in South Africa. This project, a significant milestone in the country's renewable energy landscape, is part of the Koruson 2 renewable energy cluster and was developed and constructed by Envusa Energy, a joint venture between EDF Power Solutions and Anglo American.

Situated near Noupoort in the Northern Cape, the Mooi Plaats Solar PV Plant will supply renewable electricity to Anglo American's mining operations, including Kumba Iron Ore, De Beers, and Valterra Platinum. The plant is expected to generate nearly 360 million kWh of renewable electricity annually, contributing to long-term decarbonization and energy resilience objectives across the mining sector.

Vikas Bansal, CEO of GameChange Energy's International division, highlighted the challenges of the project, stating, "The Northern Cape region presents harsh environmental and site conditions, including high wind exposure, elevated temperatures, dusty conditions, and demanding construction environments. Our Genius Tracker™ 1P system was selected to support reliable performance under these conditions while enabling efficient installation across a project of this scale."

The project's execution involved strong collaboration with CGGC, the EPC contractor, and Envusa Energy. Hanli Smit, Head of Execution at Envusa Energy, expressed appreciation for the partnership, noting, "Mooi Plaats Solar PV Plant is a significant renewable energy infrastructure project both in terms of scale and execution complexity. Delivery of a project of this nature requires coordination across multiple stakeholders, technologies, and construction activities."

The Mooi Plaats Solar PV Plant is expected to support Anglo American's broader sustainability goals. The project's construction phase created more than 1,600 jobs and included approximately R20 million in socio-economic development investment for surrounding communities. The plant is also anticipated to contribute to long-term reductions in Scope 2 emissions associated with mining operations.

GameChange Energy, a global provider of renewable energy infrastructure solutions, has been at the forefront of developing innovative technologies to support the transition to clean energy. The company's Genius Tracker™ 1P system is designed to reduce risk, improve performance, and deliver reliable operation worldwide.
