Transnet National Ports Authority has awarded a R60m contract to build a solar-powered water desalination plant at the Port of East London and operate it for seven years. It is the latest sign of Transnet’s embrace of the private sector and will reduce the SOE’s reliance on third parties to provide fresh water.
“The introduction of this alternative water solution is a step towards the advancement of the port system and seeks to minimise TNPA’s reliance on external parties for the provision of fresh water,” said acting TNPA chief executive, Phyllis Difeto.
