Electric buses for University of Johannesburg as solar power initiative grows

Johannesburg – The University of Johannesburg (UJ) solar power initiative now produces 15% of the institution’s energy consumption, with electric buses now moving students around campus.

Vice-Chancellor and Principal of the university, Professor Tshilidzi Marwala congratulated the institution for its drive for clean energy.

UJ became “grid positive” after it installed thousands of solar panels on the roofs of several on-campus buildings and carports (covered parking bays) since 2020.

One of my legacy at UJ is a drive for clean energy. The solar project now produces 15% of UJ’s energy consumption. Now we have electric buses. Congratulations UJ. @mediauj @UNIC_Tokyo
