DRDGOLD and its 60MW Green Energy Investment

Since June 2024, DRDGOLD has embarked on an ambitious expansion project to double its gold production at the FWGR operation by 2028. At ERGO, operations have stabilised at higher volumes and lower gold grades, at least for the next three years.
ERGO’s lower grade future requires it to control and reduce costs. As a result, DRDGOLD became one of the first JSE resource companies to invest in both a large (60MW) Solar Power Project as well as a Battery Energy Storage Facility (BESS). The combined facility is now fully operational and is both reducing energy demand as well as earning Eskom credits and offsets.
