York Timbers joins more than 50 companies that have selected Discovery Green’s energy wheeling platform to meet their renewable energy objectives. Discovery Green already has more than 740MW in generation under development for these customers.
JSE-listed York Timber Holdings, the largest solid wood processor in South Africa, has reached a 10-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Discovery Green, a renewable energy platform.
Under the agreement, Discovery Green will convert 90% of York Timber’s Jessievale sawmill’s energy usage into renewable energy, reducing its carbon emissions by thousands of tons of carbon dioxide each year. This will ultimately deliver better energy economics for the next 10 years.
The Jessievale Sawmill, located in Warburton, Mpumalanga, is one of York Timbers' primary processing facilities. It processes approximately 225,000 cubic metres of timber a year.
