# South African coal producers are increasingly investing in renewable energy to cut costs and reduce emissions. Exxaro Resources, through its subsidiary Cennergi, is targeting one-thousand-600-megawatts of installed renewable capacity by 2030. Its 68-megawatt solar plant at Grootegeluk Mine in Limpopo has cut grid reliance by 30-percent, saving about 100-million-rand annually. Meanwhile, Thungela Resources is exploring coal-bed methane in Limpopo, with the project expected to reduce electricity costs and diversify its energy business.
