The new solar energy build programme will deliver a combined 1 10MWp of wheeled energy services upon completion, says the firm.
Terra Firma , a South African independent power producer and renewable energy company, has announced a new R1.3 billion utility-scale solar energy build programme that will deliver a combined 1 10MWp of wheeled energy services once completed.
“We believe wheeling will be a vital part of South Africa's rapidly-evolving energy sector, providing multiple benefits that align with the country's broader energy and sustainability goals.” The state power utility is applying for an electricity price hike of 36.15% for direct customers for 2025. Municipal customers could face a 43.55% price hike by June 2025.
“Once live, we will draw on our experience with commercial solar projects throughout South Africa, as well as our smart metering and software platform, to deliver a world-class energy wheeling offering to corporate South Africa.” Using the company’s proprietary software platform, the energy generated is reconciled and is offset against the monthly utility time-of-use tariff schedule, delivering savings to customers, it notes.
