Eskom unveils agri training centre as practical JET milestone

State-owned power utility Eskom this week unveiled a Climate Smart Horticulture Centre at the Grootvlei power station, marking a practical milestone in linking South Africa’s Just Energy Transition (JET) to new local economic opportunities in climate-smart food production and skills development. Together with the government of the Netherlands, and with support from Enterprising Africa Regional Network, Mpumalanga Green Cluster, Seed2Feed Foundation, Holland Green Tech, Ridder and other agricultural organisations, eight community members from the Dipaleseng municipality are being trained as greenhouse facilitators.
