About Discovery Green

Discovery Green is Discovery's renewable energy platform for businesses that makes it simple and affordable for businesses to run on renewable energy. By bringing together scale, the best expertise, actuarial modelling and sophisticated systems, our renewable energy platform can help businesses meet their decarbonisation goals and decrease funds spent on electricity. Discovery Green recently launched Ampli Energy, a joint initiative between Discovery Green and Sasol to further unlock access to renewable energy for businesses that need it most - from mid-sized corporates and SMMEs to NGOs, that have historically been excluded from South Africa's energy market due to their size.  Ampli Energy pays businesses to switch to renewable energy, depositing monthly cashback directly into business bank accounts. No fees. No risks. No hassles. Just monthly cashback for going green.
