Amazon punts 10MW solar plant in Northern Cape

[Jan]

Amazon's new 10-megawatt solar plant in South Africa up and running

Amazon has announced that its 10-megawatt solar power plant in the Northern Cape is up and running.

The retail and cloud services giant first announced the launch of the solar farm in November and is now promoting it internationally.

Same company that built this one has also built an ever bigger PV site next to it.

Now they are crying, hope that it goes the same way for ESKOM.

Wonder how long it took to get that 10MW up and running from start to finish?

 

[Polymathic]

When did they start building this?

A bit premature considering you'd need about 4000 more of those to cover Eskom's installed capacity...and let's not even get started on the whole dispatchable power versus non dispatchable power.

This will not progress at anywhere near the pace that Telkom's stranglehold was dismantled.

Queue EFF to claim its theirs because.

The taxpayer will at least have to pay so they can afford to shut down.

Article didn't really explain Amazon's involvement. Did they sponsor it? Was it a charity thing?

Going to need 4000 of these to do that, and then there will still be load shedding during the peaks

And how much does it generate at night?
