The eThekwini municipality will invest R8.7-million in placing solar photovoltaic (PV) panels at the Moses Mabhida Stadium, uShaka Marine World, Kings Park swimming pool, the Metro Police headquarters, eThekwini Water and Sanitation’s (EWS’s) customer service block and Loram House, home to Durban’s strategic projects unit.
Aluwani Ramulifho, the recently appointed renewable energy manager at the eThekwini municipality’s Energy Office, said the locations had been strategically selected to raise the profile of solar energy in the city and represent different sized installations.
Panels placed on the arch and above the restaurant at Moses Mabhida Stadium were expected to generate 112 kW, while the panels at uShaka Marine World would add a further 135 kW and those at the Metro Police’s headquarters another 115 kW of power to the city’s grid. Panels on the roof of the Kings Park swimming pool would supply 110 kW, the EWS 45 kW and Loram House 5 kW of electricity.
