Recognizing the effect of fossil fuels on global climate change, VWGA says it is striving to minimize its dependence on these energy sources. South Africa celebrates Energy Month in May, and therefore, VWGA has taken the opportunity to highlight its commitment to become carbon neutral in vehicle and component production by 2030 through its Zero Impact Factory initiatives.
South African homes and businesses have really ramped up adoption of solar PV, especially over the past 2 years. South Africa’s national electric utility company, Eskom, recently published a system status update where it reported that the estimated total solar PV installed at rooftops of homes and businesses is now 5,440 MW. South Africa also has about 2,800 MW of utility-scale solar PV and concentrated solar.
