TWK is working hard on new initiatives to drive a better tomorrow. With a drive to green energy, and also while achieving a good return on investment, several of our operational points have installed solar systems during the last few years. The installed solar systems enable us to reduce our usage of government supplied electricity (coal generation) and to contribute to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere.
Solar systems are already in operation at Toyota Standerton, Toyota Piet Retief, Hino Piet Retief, the TWK Head Office (Piet Retief), Silo Panel Beaters (Ermelo) and Protea Tyres Factory (Ermelo), Wesselton Shopping Centre (Ermelo), as well as SAWCO in Eswatini (the biggest system). The most recent installation was completed at the TWK Hardware/Mechanisation (“Hoofwinkel”) in Piet Retief during November 2020.
To date, these systems combined have generated energy of a total of 3.8 million kWh, with an estimated carbon dioxide offset exceeding 3900 tons to date, and it is still early days with the solar installations having an expected lifetime of 25+ years.
Through a new subsidiary, Rental Roofspace (Pty) Ltd, of which TWK Agri holds 75%, the TWK Group is also investing in solar systems to provide power to third party users (tenants of shopping malls).
The continuous implementation of solar energy sources remains part of the strategy for the TWK Group in order to achieve our mission of achieving sustainable growth, together.
The expansion from wattle to eucalyptus and pine really shows TWK's vision for the whole SA timber industry. I'd love to see how their Richards Bay facility handles different species — I've been using https://aiphototemplate.com
Exploring 画質良くする方法 is very helpful for anyone who loves photography I enjoy how modern tools now make image enhancement fast and beginner-friendly.
Even simple edits can make photos feel much more professional.
A creative and practical solution for better visuals.
Love that TWK expanded beyond wattle bark to Eucalyptus and Pine — the Richards Bay facility must be a game-changer for export logistics. I've been looking https://3d-ai-generator.com
Richards Bay's woodchip facility sounds impressive! It's interesting how TWK grew from helping fellow timber farmers market Wattle bark to serving the whole SA industry with Eucalyptus and Pine. I've been using https://framepack-ai.com
