ROBBEN ISLAND IMPROVES THE CARBON FOOTPRINT
John Richards talked to DOM WILLS, CEO of Sola Future Energy, the contractor who designed and installed the solar arrays and storage batteries, and the micro-grid operating system, to reduce dramatically the use of diesel electricity generation.
Robben Island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the social, conservation and environmental concerns are particularly sensitive.
The reduction of diesel fuel by about 235 000 litres annually will reduce carbon emissions from the Island by at least 50%.
