Mulilo is a South African renewable energy developer and Independent Power Producer (IPP) founded in 2008. Headquartered in Cape Town, the company develops, constructs and operates utility-scale wind, solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage projects, supplying electricity to South Africa's national grid and working across Southern Africa.

The scale of its portfolio is substantial. Between 420 MW and 450 MW of wind and solar capacity is in operation, with a further 667-765 MW under construction.

In 2023 Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) acquired a majority shareholding in the business, which is also backed by Norfund. Mulilo operates within the renewable energy, power generation and utilities, and energy transition sectors.
