The V&A Waterfront’s ongoing drive to safeguard both its historic and environmental legacy was rewarded with Heritage Platinum status, in recognition of efforts to preserve the property’s unique history.
In addition to their new Platinum Heritage status, the V&A Waterfront is also determined to look to the future. Announced today, more than 7 000 square metres of solar panels will soon be installed on the roofs of buildings across the V&A Waterfront, significantly reducing the property’s dependence on the electrical grid. The R20 millions Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Project will conserve an estimated 1 721 956 kWh annually, or the equivalent of the energy needed to power 574 four-person households.
Beginning in August 2015 and scheduled for completion by end 2015 or early 2016, PV panels will be installed by Sustainable Power Solutions on the roofs of the Watershed, the Breakwater, the Clock Tower, Granger Bay, Two Oceans Aquarium, Ports Edge, West Quay and Portswood House. The result is a reduction in total electrical consumption of the building.
