Teraco to build 120 MW solar plant after securing grid capacity allocation

Data centre infrastructure and services company Teraco will start construction of a 120 MW utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) facility in the Free State after securing its first grid capacity allocation from State-owned Eskom. The grid capacity allocation enables it to connect the planned 120 MW solar facility to the national electrical grid. The power generated will be wheeled across Eskom and municipal power networks to Teraco’s facilities across South Africa.
