Decarbonise
From measured to decarbonised. Delivered by a Tier 1 ESCO.
Once your energy and carbon data is measured, the next step is cutting it. GreenBDG Africa models, builds and verifies the solar and energy efficiency projects that lower consumption, carbon and cost across your portfolio.
Why decarbonise now
GreenBDG Africa’s status as an energy services company
Energy reductions GreenBDG projects typically deliver
Carbon tax per tCO₂e under Phase 2 that reductions avoid
Section 12L deduction per verified kWh saved
What we deliver
Four ways to cut energy, carbon and cost.
Energy modelling
We model each building’s energy use and emissions to identify the measures with the best payback, size solar correctly and set a defensible baseline before any capital is committed.
Solar contracting
Design, procurement, installation and commissioning of rooftop and ground-mounted solar PV, delivered as a turnkey contract and integrated into your monitoring from day one.
Carbon credits
We turn the verified emission reductions from your projects into carbon credits that offset carbon tax liability or create a new revenue stream.
Energy efficiency improvements
Practical measures that lower operating costs without new generation: tariff optimisation, water balancing and waste minimisation.
Energy efficiency improvements
Savings hiding in the bills you already pay.
Tariff optimisation
We analyse your utility tariffs and demand profiles to move each supply point onto the most cost-effective structure and reduce demand charges.
Water balancing
A full water balance shows where water is used, lost and wasted across a site, so leaks and inefficient systems can be fixed with confidence.
Waste minimisation
We audit waste streams and put practical reduction, reuse and diversion measures in place, cutting disposal costs and the associated emissions.
Verified savings
Every improvement is tracked against its baseline on the monitoring platform, giving you evidence for Section 12L claims and ESG reporting.
FAQ
Decarbonisation questions
What does it mean that GreenBDG Africa is a Tier 1 ESCO?
As a Tier 1 energy services company, GreenBDG Africa takes responsibility for energy projects end to end: modelling the opportunity, implementing the solar and efficiency measures, and verifying the savings they deliver.
Why start with energy modelling?
Modelling shows where each Rand of capital delivers the most kWh and carbon reduction. It sizes solar correctly, ranks efficiency measures by payback and sets the baseline that later proves the savings.
How do carbon credits fit in?
Verified emission reductions from your solar and efficiency projects can be developed into carbon credits. Credits can be used to offset Phase 2 carbon tax liability or sold, adding a further revenue stream to the project.
How are the savings proven?
Every project is tracked against its baseline on the GreenBDG monitoring platform, so savings are measured continuously and documented to the standard required for Section 12L claims and ESG reporting.
Start with the model, not the panels.
Send us twelve months of utility data for one building and we will return a decarbonisation plan: solar sizing, efficiency measures ranked by payback and the carbon you could cut.
