Utility-scale wind and solar energy producer BTE Renewables’ Swellendam-based Excelsior wind energy facility has partnered with the Overberg Renosterveld Conservation Trust (ORCT) to help it conserve and protect the rare flora of the area, including the important and critically endangered species it supports.

While linked to biodiversity and overall environment management, BTE Renewables’ Excelsior facility has committed funding to the ORCT that has an added socioeconomic development benefit, through skills development support.
