Mickey Mashale, CEO of Changa Energy , discusses a turning point she says will scale up long-term impact in South Africa's energy industry.
As Eskom endeavours to stabilise the national grid, South African industries continue to face unpredictable supply and rising electricity costs, particularly in sectors like manufacturing, chemicals, agriculture, and logistics. These challenges affect profitability, competitiveness, and job security.
To tackle this, Changa Energy Pty Ltd, a 100 black-owned company, has secured funding from the Industrial Development Corporation IDC to roll out a 50MW renewable energy pipeline for the commercial and industrial C I sector over the next 2 years.
