We are pleased to announce South Africa’s largest registered rooftop solar installation at our super-regional asset, Eastgate Shopping Centre. Eastgate’s journey to becoming an environmental leader began in 2020, where the first phase of the solar system was commissioned, a significant step in the centres commitment to sustainable energy practices. This first phase consisted of a 1 MW [AC] or 1.219MWp solar power installation, which has resulted in an energy saving of 1 910 MWh in 2023. Since then, as part of its second phase, the mall has actively expanded its renewable energy capacity, with the addition of a 5 MW [AC] or 5.997MWp solar power installation. In total the mall has almost 13,675 solar panels, which equates to 35.04% of the energy required to run Eastgate’s daily load, generated through solar energy. This is the largest registered rooftop installation, when considering both phases combined generate a total of 6MW [AC] or 7.216MWp in solar power. The solar installation covers most of the available mall roof space, an area of approximately 28,100m². The energy generated will be used to power the mall’s daily operations. The project is set to be completed in Q3 2024. L2D has made significant investments in renewable energy as part of its Net Zero Carbon journey and is proud to lead many firsts in the industry.
