MTN South Africa is making strides in its Head Office Solar Renewable Energy Project at 14th Avenue, announcing the energisation process of its solar renewable energy phase one project. With over 50% completion, MTN has switched on 5418 solar panels out of the planned 9 000. This phased approach will inject 700kW into the 14th Avenue micro grid, making the head office 40% less reliant from municipal grid.
The aim is to inject a total of 1 800kW by the end of February, with the battery storage facility set to be installed by end-March.In 2023, MTN initiated the phase one of its solar renewable energy project, transforming the head office into a Solar Park with 4,9MW of solar PV and 2MW of battery energy. This strategic move not only positioned MTN as an independent power producer (IPP), but also promised substantial annual energy consumption savings of 9 300 000 kWh and a reduction in CO2 emissions by 9 672 tons. The head office now boasts multiple energy sources, including municipal/Eskom grid, gas generators, diesel generators, solar PV, and a battery energy storage syste
