Corporate traceability
Corporate traceability of organizations linked to facilities in South Africa, weighted by operating power capacity. Announced and under-construction figures are not counted here. No operating power capacity is on record for facilities in South Africa, so no tier has a share of it.
- Tier 1
- —No operating figure across 11 facilities · company has an SEC identifier or a parent linked through filing, registry or supply-chain data
- Tier 2
- —No facilities · parent linked through licensed ownership data
- Tier 3
- —No facilities · parent linked through other sources
- Tier 4
- —No operating figure across 31 facilities · company identified; parent unrecorded
- Data Gap
- —No operating figure across 6 facilities · no company linked

Ownership tiers over time
Operating-capacity-weighted shares at each recorded snapshot. Dates refer to when the distribution was captured; the underlying ownership evidence can be older.
33 snapshots weighted by operating capacity, from 2026-09-23 to 2026-10-25. 144 earlier snapshots weighted every recorded power figure and are listed under Snapshot values.
All 33 record 0 MW operating, so no tier has a share to plot.
Snapshot values
Displayed MW are rounded to two decimal places. Operating capacity counts operational records only; a snapshot taken before operating weighting began lists only the figure it recorded, every status summed. Download values (JSON) for the full inputs used to calculate the shares. Consecutive snapshots showing the same figures are listed once, under their first and last dates; the download keeps every date.
