The group has partnered with Eskom on a 'virtual wheeling' project.
Vodacom South Africa is set to get approximately 30% of the group’s electricity demand covered by renewable energy sources through virtual wheeling, it confirmed on Monday.
Vodacom believes the agreement with Eskom has the potential to pave the way for other corporates equally interested in meeting key decarbonisation goals, while still supporting the stability of the country’s ailing national grid. Eskom’s distribution group executive Monde Bala said virtual wheeling will help improve the security of supply and cut down on load shedding.
NBI CEO Shameela Soobramoney stressed the sustainability benefits of virtual wheeling and the benefits it offers businesses in desperate need of operational continuity.
