Our Heritage

Turning Enterprise into Sustainable Progress

Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Cape Town, South Africa, Phelan Green Group is a privately owned family business with an entrepreneurial legacy spanning more than 140 years and five generations. The Group operates across seven countries on four continents, developing renewable energy and sustainable fuel projects for the global energy transition. Through Phelan Energy, we have delivered more than 500 MWp of solar PV capacity and assembled a land portfolio exceeding 30,000 hectares, with planning for over 2 GW of solar and wind, providing the foundation for our green hydrogen and eSAF developments. We build for the long term. Guided by innovation, disciplined execution and a commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, we are creating the infrastructure and sustainable fuel solutions for a cleaner, more resilient future.
