Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy Limited (SWREL) has announced a new international win in South Africa, marking its second major project from the country this financial year. The company has been selected to deliver a turnkey engineering, procurement and construction assignment for a 240 MW AC solar power plant. The contract is valued at roughly USD 147 million, or about ₹1,313 crore.
This latest order expands SWREL’s footprint in the region, where it is now working on four large solar PV installations for four prominent developers. The two projects awarded last year have already moved ahead steadily and helped the company cement its presence in the South African renewable energy space.
The two recent project wins, secured within a short period, further reinforce SWREL’s strengthening position in the market. South Africa’s solar sector continues to accelerate, driven by rising corporate demand for reliable power, lower project costs, and a growing emphasis on grid resilience.
Commenting on the development, Chandra Kishore Thakur, Global CEO of Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy Limited, said the company is pleased to secure another significant project from South Africa in such quick succession. He noted that the country remains one of SWREL’s priority international markets, with four active projects underway for respected clients—demonstrating the trust placed in the company’s expertise. With this latest addition, SWREL’s total order inflow for the year has reached nearly ₹5,088 crore, reflecting sustained momentum.
