Expansion of Microgrids - Threat or Opportunity?

During this presentation, DeVilliers will unpack a compelling case study of our award-winning Hartenbos Waste Water Treatment Works Solar PV Plant and Microgrid, as a benchmark for municipal energy innovation. Designed in partnership with Element Consulting Engineers and Mossel Bay Municipality, this microgrid system not only powers the treatment facility but consistently exports two-thirds of its generated energy back into the Mossel Bay municipal grid, thus supporting broader grid stability and reducing reliance on Eskom. This case study demonstrates how microgrids can deliver tangible benefits beyond their primary sites, creating shared value for municipalities and communities.
