Teraco, a Digital Realty Company and Africa's largest interconnection hub and vendor-neutral data centre provider, announced on February 21, 2024, that it has secured its first grid capacity allocation from Eskom. This allocation will allow Teraco to start construction of a 120MW utility-scale solar PV energy facility in the Free State province of South Africa. The power generated will be transferred across Eskom and municipal power networks to Teraco’s facilities across the country. Once fully operational, the solar PV plant is expected to produce more than 338,000MWh annually. Teraco has partnered with JUWI Renewable Energies South Africa and Subsolar to develop the solar PV plant.
