Tiger Brands is transitioning its Gauteng manufacturing sites to cleaner energy through a new wheeling agreement with Apollo Africa. The deal uses a power purchase agreement to transmit renewable electricity across the national grid, reducing the company's reliance on carbon intensive power. By 2028, sites connected to the Ekurhuleni Municipality network aim to source 60% of their electricity from these wheeled renewable sources. This move highlights the growing trend of industrial players in South Africa using third party renewable projects to meet sustainability goals.
