This project involves the installation of 14,470 solar panels at Grupo Rey’s Distribution Center in Pacora, which will allow the company to generate its own clean energy, reducing its carbon footprint by 4,500 tons of CO2 per year, which is equivalent to planting 26,000 trees.
[pdf] The project, considered the world's largest solar-storage project, will install 3.5GW of solar photovoltaic capacity and a 4.5GWh battery storage system. The project has commenced in November 2024.
[pdf] The Red Sands project will be the largest standalone BESS to reach this stage on the continent, designed to store power during off-peak hours and release it when demand is highest—providing essential grid stability and flexibility for South Africa’s electricity network.
