SolarSaver has reached the milestone of managing over 130 MWp of solar installations across more than 720 projects — a landmark in the commercial and industrial solar provision space. We're helping diverse businesses across many sectors to harness renewable energy at no capital cost. Businesses from manufacturers to remote lodges to cold storage operations to schools have slashed their energy costs by over 30%, paying only for the cleaner, greener energy they use. Highlights include: ☀️ A 4.8 MWp installation and 4.5 MWp installation at Westgate and Cresta Shopping Centres, part of a 14 MWp portfolio of solutions for Pareto Limited shopping centres across South Africa. 🌍 Over 3.6 MWp for Amdec Group, including various tailored installations at Melrose Arch. 🏢 Over 3.5 MWp each for PepsiCo South Africa, Lynx Real Estate and AJ Property Holdings ⛽ Installations at fuel stations across South Africa, Namibia, and Botswana for Engen of 7 MWp and counting 🐟 A 3 MWp installation at the Novanam hake processing plant in Namibia that has decreased annual CO2 emissions by 3,932 tons. Our green footprint is growing, and so is our impact. 🌱 Isn't it time you #RentTheSun? #renewableenergy #solarpower #solarsolutions #solar #sustainability #powercosts #solarforbusiness #SolarSaver

Powering Our Nation: Our Role in Namibia’s Energy Sector Energy is at the core of any modern society, and in Namibia, it is no different. At the Ministry of Mines and Energy, we ensure that Namibia’s energy needs are met with sustainable energy resources. Our role extends beyond keeping the lights on – we drive innovation, promote sustainability, and work to ensure reliable, affordable energy for all Namibians. Ensuring a Reliable Energy Supply Our primary responsibility is ensuring that every Namibian has access to reliable energy, including electricity and petroleum products. This involves planning, infrastructure development, and policymaking. We oversee the national grid, connecting thousands of homes and businesses. In addition, we manage the supply of petroleum products to ensure energy security and affordability, supported by the National Energy Fund. The recent oil discoveries have created hope and a new dawn for Namibia. We are developing policies and regulations that guarantee fair and maximum benefit from these resources for the people of Namibia – not only for now but for future generations. Promoting Renewable Energy Namibia is blessed with abundant renewable resources, such as solar and wind energy. Our solar initiatives have been particularly successful, with more than twenty (20) solar farms and 1 (one) wind farm now contributing to the national grid. These projects showcase our commitment to sustainability and demonstrate Namibia’s leadership in clean energy. By harnessing the power of nature, we are diversifying our energy mix and planning to reduce our dependence on imported electricity, moving towards a more sustainable green energy future. Supporting Rural Electrification One of Namibia’s greatest challenges is providing electricity to rural areas. Many remote communities are far from the main grid, making traditional electrification costly. To address this, we have launched rural electrification projects using innovative solutions like solar home systems. These projects bring reliable electricity to off-grid communities, improving their quality of life and empowering them to participate in the national economy. Our Commitment At the Ministry of Mines and Energy, our commitment is clear: we will continue to work tirelessly to power Namibia’s progress. Whether through expanding access to electricity, promoting renewable energy, facilitating new projects in oil discovery, and planning for the future, we are dedicated to ensuring that Namibia has the diverse energy mix it needs to grow and prosper. Harnessing Our Resources, Powering Our Future. #MME #MinistryOfMinesAndEnergy #Namibia #Energy #Electricity #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability

In the heart of Tanzania, amidst the sweeping landscapes and untapped potential of renewable energy, Green Masai Foundation (GMF) is proceeding on a transformative journey. What began as a visionary project to harness wind energy in the picturesque Arusha, is now evolving into AEROVOLT TANZANIA, a multi-billion-dollar company set to revolutionize the energy landscape of East Africa and beyond. At GMF, we recognize the immense opportunities and possibilities that lie within the realm of renewable energy. With Tanzania's commitment to diversifying its energy sources and reducing its carbon footprint, the timing couldn't be more perfect for us to take the leap from a project-based initiative to a fully-fledged corporate entity. #RenewableEnergy #aecounsil
