Northam Platinum increased its revolving credit facility by R2bn to R13.3bn to fund its renewable energy initiatives, targeting over 70% clean energy by 2030. The facility matures in August 2027, raising total banking facilities to R14.3bn.

Northam will use the funds primarily for constructing solar photovoltaic plants and battery storage at its mine sites in Mpumalanga and Limpopo. The company has also entered into power purchase agreements with independent producers. The renewable energy program aims to enhance energy security and decrease greenhouse gas emissions while managing rising electricity costs from the national grid.
