The North West province has the potential to attract at least R50-billion worth of investment in the renewable energy sector, in addition to the private sector renewables investments that are already under way, Premier Bushy Maape has said.

He noted during his State of the Province Address last week that the province’s executive council has resolved to invest in solar panel manufacturing.

“We have identified Stilfontein in the Dr Kenneth Kaunda district as a potential location [for a manufacturing] plant, subject to feasibility study confirmation.

“We have also established a joint technical team of experts with the North West University to revise the Provincial Energy Strategy, in order to give appropriate focused attention to the provincial energy security and loadshedding mitigation strategy,” he added.
