“The rollout of the 87 MWp solar farm for Vantage’s campus, which will be one of the largest in South Africa, is an exciting step for us as we gear up to help even more businesses save with cheaper, cleaner energy through wheeling,” said SolarAfrica director Charl Alheit.
The deal is part of Vantages sustainability efforts and will aid its goal of reaching net-zero carbon emissions globally by 2030. It will also broaden renewable energy access for Vantage customers and provide energy price security, according to the announcement |
