  • Renewable energy solution provider Blue Energy Africa recently concluded a 20-year transaction with Borbet SA, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of light-alloy wheels used in some of the world’s most well-known luxury car brands, such as Ford, Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes Benz, and Isuzu.

The system to be implemented for Borbet SA will have the ability to safely shut down operations during high levels of load shedding or power outage, which will minimize the scrapping of final products produced, ensuring continuity, and minimizing losses.

The funding partner for the transaction is Gaia Fund Managers. Says Dr. Hendrik Snyman, chief investment officer of Gaia, “We are proud to be able to support Blue Energy Africa to conclude this transaction. The scale of the transaction demonstrates that Gaia’s REIT (Real estate investment trust) can provide competitive funding for large scale projects”.

Green Building Africa promotes the need for net carbon zero buildings and cities in Africa. We are fiercely independent and encourage outlying thinkers to contribute to the #netcarbonzero movement. Climate change is upon us and now is the time to react in a more diverse and broader approach to sustainability in the built environment. We challenge architects, property developers, urban planners, renewable energy professionals and green building specialists. We also challenge the funding houses and regulators and the role they play in facilitating investment into green projects. Lastly, we explore and investigate new technology and real-time data to speed up the journey in realising a net carbon zero environment for our children.
