Stortemelk Hydro, the successful run of river hydro plant near Bethlehem, Free State, has won another award. This is a quote from the CEO of our partner in the plant, Renewable Energy Partners, Anton-Louis Olivier: “I am very proud to announce that Stortemelk Hydro has received an award for architecture from the regional South African Institute of Architects. It is probably one of the first times a power plant in SA has been awarded for its architecture! It is important for me that our hydropower plants not just generate electricity efficiently, but also create a broader sense of value. Having this power plant and structure, which could still be operating 100 years from now, recognised for its architectural value, is a great reward”.
