Presentation
Renewable Energy in HEIs in South Africa, a case study at Univen

The adoption of renewable energy is not only a strategic choice but a critical necessity for ensuring the uninterrupted operations of higher education institutions.

This case study highlights the development of a solar power facility at the University of Venda. The project, with an initial capacity of 1 megawatt and designed for potential expansion to 3–5 megawatts, aims to provide a sustainable and environmentally friendly energy solution for the University.

By reducing dependence on conventional energy sources and lowering carbon emissions, this initiative supports both operational resilience and the University’s broader commitment to environmental sustainability.
