NCP Chlorchem and Terra Firma have announced a 27 MWp multi-phase solar programme at NCPs main production site in Kempton Park, marking one of South Africas largest behind-the-meter industrial renewable energy installations, the companies say. NCP is a major producer of chlorine and related chemicals used for national drinking-water treatment and the facility is designated a national key point.
The solar programme will supply a significant share of the sites electricity demand. Several phases have already been completed with additional capacity coming online early in 2026 and full completion targeted by the end of the year.
NCPs manufacturing processes are energy-intensive and the company has prioritised long-term energy planning and emissions reduction as part of its operational strategy. Its solar initiative began in 2023 with a 1,1 MWp pilot installed under earlier regulatory size limits. A second phase of 10 MWp using a mix of rooftop, carport and ground-mounted systems is now in final commissioning. A further 17,5 MWp is under construction, bringing the total programme to 27 MWp.
