Gold mining company Harmony expects to have a 30 MW solar power plant running in a year from now, provided all regulatory obstacles are removed. The company is also in discussion with Eskom to alleviate the impact of load-shedding. Harmony CEO Peter Steenkamp said during a media conference covered by Mining Weekly that the 30 MW plant in the Free State would be the first step in the company’s move to arrange for its own electricity generation.
