Solar power solutions supplied to opencast mines

摘要

Tailor-made energy solutions provider ZRW Mechanika's supply of solar-powered masts last year to chrome mining company Samancor Western Chrome, which operates an opencast mine in Marikana, in the North West, has sparked interest from numerous municipalities in South Africa, Namibia and Botswana, as well as State-owned power utility Eskom. ZRW notes that these government entities requested more information this year on the company's solar power solutions, designed and manufactured in South Africa by ZRW. ZRWs Samancor contract involved supplying solutions that could be used to light up the informal settlements around its opencast mine in the Mooinooi area of Bapong municipal district.
