Namibia: Coca-Cola Launches N$5.7 Million Solar Power System in Windhoek

Coca Cola Beverages Africa (CCBA) has recently installed 1740 solar panels and nine solar inverters worth over N$5.7 million on the roof of the Coca-Cola Namibia Bottling Company.

The factory will now derive 9% of its total power requirements from the sun. In a year, the new system is expected to reduce carbon emissions by 832 tonnes.

The Coca-Cola system is targeting to use 1.7 litres of water to produce 1 litres of product across all operations by 2020. At Namibia Bottling Company water consumption has been reduced from 2.57 litres of water to produce 1 litre of product in 2015 to 1.59 litres in 2018.
