About the Mpumalanga Green Cluster Agency
The Mpumalanga Green Cluster Agency is a not-for-profit organisation registered in South Africa. The Cluster uses the triple-helix-cluster model with representation from government, industry and academia as part of its design setup.
The cluster works at the interface between business, government and academia to identify and remove barriers to an economically viable green economy, catalysing their uptake to enable the region and its citizens to prosper.
Mpumalanga is a world-leading region in creating decent, green jobs by creating the enabling environment for new investments in low-carbon growth.
Seriti Green, in partnership with Eskom and the National Transmission Company South Africa (NTCSA), officially handed over the Vunumoya Main Transmission Station (MTS) in November 2025, marking a milestone in the transition to green energy in the province.
Seriti Green’s Ummbila Emoyeni hybrid renewable-energy facility will add 900MW to the grid once all the phases are complete.
