JSE-listed Growthpoint Properties has secured a significant stake in a new hydroelectric facility while launching an innovative green energy program for its commercial tenants. The initiative marks a pioneering approach to corporate renewable energy distribution in South Africa’s property sector, according to company announcements.
JSE-listed real estate investment trust Growthpoint Properties has reportedly acquired a 30% stake in independent power producer Serengeti Energy’s operational Boston Hydro plant near Clarens in the Free State, according to a joint media release from the companies. The R390-million hydroelectric facility represents a significant addition to South Africa’s renewable energy infrastructure with an operational lifespan exceeding 40 years.
New analysis of European energy markets shows current annual matching for green electricity claims conceals substantial seasonal and daily imbalances. Researchers propose transitioning to hourly tracking combined with storage integration to align renewable supply with actual consumption patterns.
Recent research published in Nature Communications reveals significant shortcomings in how green electricity claims are currently verified, with analysts suggesting that moving toward hourly tracking could substantially improve environmental credibility. The study examines European energy certificate markets and electricity data from 2016-2021, finding that the predominant annual matching approach masks critical mismatches between renewable energy supply and consumer demand patterns.
