We are delighted to share the exciting news that our hybrid solar and BESS Kenhardt project in the Northern Cape of South Africa, has been selected by Sustainable Business COP30 as one of the top six exemplary cases for the prestigious SB COP awards, in the energy transition category.
This recognition is a testament to the project’s remarkable achievements in both environmental stewardship, renewable energy and economic advancement. The Kenhardt project has been highlighted not only for its significant positive impact but also for its exceptional potential to be scaled and replicated on a global scale.
What makes this honour even more notable is that the Kenhardt project is the only African case study to be featured among the top six in the energy transition category, standing proudly alongside four projects from Brazil and one from Spain. This distinction underscores the project’s importance on the international stage and shines a spotlight on Africa’s and Scatec’s innovative contributions to sustainable development.
Being recognised by such a respected forum as Sustainable Business COP30 reflects the dedication, expertise, and forward-thinking vision of everyone involved in the Kenhardt project. It is a moment of immense pride for Scatec and its partners, reaffirming our commitment to delivering solutions that not only benefit our communities and environment but also inspire progress across continents.
As we look ahead to the SB COP awards ceremony to take place in Belem during COP30, we remain committed to leading by example and sharing the lessons from Kenhardt with partners worldwide, striving towards a greener, more sustainable future for all.
