Lesedi Empowering Africa

Lesedi is a leading African engineering procurement and construction (EPC) company with a history of more than 40 years in the South African energy industry. The company has, over the years, diversified into a major engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) company, having successfully completed numerous key projects in the nuclear, industrial power, mining and oil and gas environments. Lesedi continues to innovate, and boasts an extensive range of EPC and management projects and new ventures into renewables and water security. Key skills for companies and leaders of the future will be exactly this ability to diversify and upskill employees to be multiskilled and enabled to apply their skills to emerging technologies.

Lesedi has been involved with Koeberg since its inception, and through this knowledge, South Africa has exported its nuclear expertise with teams partaking in some 96 outages in international nuclear Power stations. Lesedi’s nuclear expertise is on par with global standards and our teams have been highly praised for their work during these international outages.

Furthermore, Lesedi’s bespoke EPC and EPCM contracts include multiple scopes, including balance of plant at State- owned power utility Eskom’s Medupi and Kusile power stations. These projects are iconic in their scale and complexity and we are proud of the achievement of our employees involved with these contracts.

During the first half of 2020, Lesedi Nuclear Services established a 100% held subsidiary - Lesedi Renewables Africa (LRA) to offer tailor-made renewable and hybrid energy solutions to clients. Our foray into the renewable energy sector is part of our ongoing business diversification and innovation as well as commitment to climate sustainability.
