A new renewable energy project in KwaZulu Natal is expected to generate more than 826 MWh of clean electricity annually, reinforcing the role of private investment in supporting sustainable industrial operations.
Renewable energy company Rhino Energy Solutions has commissioned a 648 kWp solar plant at Dolphin Coast Landfill Management, operated by Veolia, marking another step in South Africa's transition towards cleaner industrial operations while supporting more sustainable hazardous waste management.
The installation, located in KwaDukuza in KwaZulu Natal, is expected to generate approximately 826 MWh of renewable electricity annually, reducing the facility's dependence on the national grid while lowering carbon emissions and improving long term energy cost certainty.
The project was officially opened by the Deputy Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and Environment together with the Mayor of KwaDukuza. Developed alongside Dolphin Coast Landfill Management's advanced Liquid Treatment Plant, the solar installation reflects growing collaboration between private investment, engineering expertise and environmental stewardship.
Rhino Energy Solutions Chief Executive Rogan Davies said the project represented far more than simply installing solar panels.
