This partnership sets the tone for new models of co-operation between business, governments, international organisations and civil society to deliver progress and scale towards sustainable economic growth. Sitho Mdlalose, CEO of Vodacom South Africa, says, "Having co-developed the virtual wheeling solution with Eskom and concluded our agreement, we estimate that we will move approximately 30% of Vodacom South Africa's power demand onto renewable sources, a significant step towards our renewable energy ambitions. We are really excited that we have the opportunity to contribute to the national grid, and truly hope that through sharing our understanding of virtual wheeling and engaging both government and private participants on this solution, similar actions can be taken by other businesses across the country."
