10MWe Bioenergy CHP, Weza, Eastern Cape, South Africa - Feasibility Study

Country: South Africa

Stage: 9

This collaborative project aims to produce a bankable feasibility study for the Weza 10MWe CHP. The project concentrates on generating electricity and steam for industrial, rural, and municipal use, emphasizing energy efficiency in rural communities linked to agriculture and forestry. Addressing the underutilization of biomass in Africa, the initiative seeks to establish a new business model for sustainable, low-cost bioenergy. Successful implementation will establish NAB as a leading bioenergy developer in Africa, advancing renewable energy projects continent-wide and addressing the Energy Trilemma by enhancing availability and affordability in the Ugu district. The consortium ensures gender inclusivity, targeting at least 40% female representation in project implementation.
