Heineken South Africa Bets On Solar To Cut Carbon Emissions
A new solar power plant at the South African arm of Heineken NV will supply 30% of a brewery’s electricity demand, the brewer said, the latest company to seek an alternative supply as the state utility’s rolling power cuts hammer productivity.
This project supports Heineken‘s ‘Brewing a Better World’ goal to reach net-zero (carbon emissions) status in all its production sites by 2030.
The plant, which began producing power in May, is the largest freestanding solar plant powering a brewery in South Africa, and the largest within the Heineken group, boasting 14,000 panels with an energy capacity of over 6.5 megawatts. It will provide 30% of the brewery’s electricity demand, the company said.
The 19 hectare (47-acre) project will generate 17,000 megawatt hours of electricity a year, Heineken added.
