Calulo-Röhlig Energy Logistics, a joint venture bet- ween Calulo Renewable Energy and Röhlig-Grindrod, has been established as a logistics service provider within the South African energy sector. It is 51% black-owned and a level 2 BBBEE contributor.
Both the Calulo Group and Röhlig-Grindrod are affiliated to complementary and successful logistics and service-based companies. The joint-venture company is therefore ideally positioned to provide best-practice solutions to the energy market.
The vision of the business is to provide a full- wrap logistics offering to Project Developers and Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) companies alike.
The organisation plans on developing the market through constant engagement with its partners, EPCs and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), marketing its services and differentiating factors, and enhancing relationships with key decision makers at the Department of Energy.
The team is currently at the early stages of market penetration with the focus being predominantly on targeting wind, solar PV and concentrated solar power projects. The business could also provide best-practice solutions for hydro or biomass projects.
