VW South Africa’s Factory To Expand Solar PV Installation To 5.3 MW By 2024
1 day ago
VW South Africa is also increasing the penetration of electricity from renewables via onsite solar PV installations along with planned offsite wind farms coupled with electricity wheeling arrangements. Electricityis the act of transporting electricity from a generator to a remotely located end-user through the use of an existing distribution or transmission system.
One of the developments I was very excited to see during a recent visit to the vehicle manufacturing plant was the 1.5 MW solar PV installation on the vehicle assembly section’s roofs. VWSA also has 0.8 MW of solar PV that was installed at its engine plant. A further 3 MW is set to be installed by 2024 at the VW factory.
The VW factory plays a big role in the local Nelson Mandela Bay economy as well as the South African economy. The Chairperson and Managing Director of VWSA, Martina Biene, says in 2022, the company contributed the equivalent of $16.5 million in salaries, wages, and benefits, $1.7 million in rates and taxes to the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro, $6.91 million in electricity, water, and waste removal, as well as supporting 1,171 suppliers.
