South African Breweries saying goodbye to Eskom and take the future in its own hands.
This comes after non-stop load-shedding, South African Breweries (SAB) has announced its plans to brew from entirely renewable resources by 2025.
The company also plans to brew Castle Light almost half of which is already produced from renewable resources using only renewable electricity.
To reach its goals of 100% renewable energy by 2025, Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev, SAB’s holding company) will need solar power generation facilities able to produce 191MW.
Since the start of 2021, the AB InBev-owned company has generated 9.7GWh of renewable electricity, saying that it would use all options available to further reduce its load on the national power grid.
SAB said that all of its breweries in South Africa use some form of solar power generation, while the Alrode brewery in Johannesburg also uses biogas to produce electricity.
