Blue Energy Africa will be delivering a 20-year solar Purchase Power Agreement (#PPA) solution to Penflex, a leading South African manufacturer of writing instruments, plastic home ware solutions, components for the window blind industry, as well as multi-use large bottles for the water industry.
The #sustainable #impact of a #renewable #energy #solution, which Blue Energy Africa is implementing for Penflex, includes securing the livelihood of 300 families, halving the manufacturer’s Eskom demand and significantly reducing losses caused by #wastage.
The Hybrid Solar PV and Battery Energy Storage System to be implemented at Penflex’s factory in Killarney Gardens, Cape Town, will be 1.3 MWp in size, capable of generating over 1 900 MWh annually. This will halve the manufacturer’s Eskom demand.
Says Marcel Steinberg, chief executive officer of Blue Energy, “We are thrilled to partner with Penflex, a company that shares our deep commitment to sustainable practices and environmental stewardship. By integrating renewable energy into their operations, Penflex is not only reducing their carbon footprint, but also setting a strong example for corporate responsibility in South Africa. This partnership is a significant step forward in our mission to power the future with clean, reliable energy.”
The project was funded by Gaia Fund Managers' Renewables REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust), the first of its kind in Africa, listed on The Cape Town Stock Exchange.
