sustainable energy sources to these organisations to aid them on their quest to
make a significant difference in the lives of the people that they serve.

The six solar installations are located at The Amangwe Village Training Centre
located in the Mbonambi area, the Sekusile Zulu Creche and Nawe Zifunze Training
Centre located in the Mzingazi area, SA National Cancer Association (SANCA)
located in eMpangeni area, the NSRI Sea Rescue located in Richards Bay, and the
Khayalethu Child & Care Centre located in Arboretum in the Richards Bay area.



The current electricity crisis within South Africa is impacting the most
vulnerable communities and through an innovative partnership, Solana Energy and
South32 saw an opportunity to assist. These installations will provide
uninterrupted electricity supply to these organisations looking after the most
vulnerable in the communities.

“When the lights went off, as an NPO we struggled with no telephone, internet
and not being able to access our computers, be it to write a confirmation letter
for our service user or sit through a virtual meeting or workshop. SANCA
Zululand is extremely grateful to Solana Energy as we can proudly say;
load-shedding has become a thing of the past,” says Shireen Sahadev, Director of
SANCA Zululand.



Zanele Mabaso, Manager of Amangwe Village echoes these sentiments saying: “Since
the installation of Solar Energy, stress has decreased especially when it comes
to our daily work. Even if our neighbours complain of load-shedding, we continue
working and submit it timeously. Frustration is less now, we continue normally
with our daily work at the office.”

Access to electricity is crucial for economic and social development as well as
advancement in both the healthcare and education system. Due to load-shedding,
many NPOs and small businesses have to face constant interruptions from doing
their important work, which has a negative impact on the surrounding
communities.

The National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) Station 19 is required to react to all
water-related emergencies on a 24/7 basis and load-shedding was hampering their
ability to perform their critical tasks.

“We now have the ability to operate as necessary during load-shedding and
continue with our task to save lives of those in danger on the sea and inland
waters. We cannot emphasise enough the need for a continuous power supply,” says
Mike Patterson from the NSRI.

Delivering social impact was a key consideration at the commencement of the
partnership between Solana Energy and its key funding partner South32. 

“Solar Energy provides a transformative solution to the critical challenges our
communities face everyday due to South Africa’s electricity crisis. We
understand that our most vulnerable communities feel these effects the most. We,
at Solana Energy, are committed to assisting our communities as much as we can,
so that we can empower them to thrive both socially and economically. We are
thankful for our collaboration with South32, in that we know these installations
would not have been entirely possible without their assistance,” says Ahmed
Motara, Business Development Lead at Solana Energy.

Calvin Mkhabela, Vice President at Hillside Aluminium, concludes: “We are
privileged to have been able to support Solana Energy in these installations as
we know how positive the impacts will be. We know that by investing in solar
solutions, we are alleviating several communities of the hardships they face
when they are forced to operate without electricity. We believe that by
investing in solar solutions, we are able to make a difference in the lives of
those who need it the most.”
