Indicative model: flat 2 MW site load, clear-sky solar and 0.27 L per kWh generated. Your real numbers come out of the feasibility study.
COMPLETE ENERGY SOLUTIONS
Five ways to keep the plant running.
Most sites end up with a blend. We design the mix around your load profile, fuel logistics and uptime requirement.
Battery storage
Hold the surplus, ride through the evening, and shave the peaks.
- Lithium battery storage
- Hybrid battery systems
- Peak shaving
- Demand management
- Backup power
- Smart energy management
Microgrids
Independent power networks where the grid does not reach.
- Mining camps
- Exploration sites
- Villages
- Industrial parks
- Hospitals
- Government facilities
Hybrid power plants
The workhorse for remote mining and industry: solar carries the day, the battery covers the shoulder, and generation fills the gap, all under one energy management system.
- Solar PV
- Battery storage
- Diesel generators
- Grid supply
- Gas generators
- Intelligent energy management
Industrial power plants
Firm generation for operations that cannot stop, permanent stations, temporary power, or modular plants that scale with the mine.
- Diesel power stations
- Temporary power stations
- Gas power plants
- Permanent generation
- Heavy fuel oil systems
- Modular power plants

WHAT IT CHANGES
Less diesel. More uptime.
Every litre you do not burn is a litre you do not have to truck in, store, guard and account for. Sustainability targets and operating costs pull in the same direction here.
Reduce diesel consumption
Lower operating costs
Improve energy security
Cut carbon emissions
Increase operational uptime
Meet ESG objectives
PROJECT LIFECYCLE
From first conversation to lifetime support.
Seven phases. We stay on the project after handover — the plant has to perform for twenty years, not twenty days.
01
Assess
Capacity, site and requirements.
02
Design
Layouts and specifications.
03
Manufacture
Buildings and structures.
04
Procure
Furniture and utilities.
05
Mobilise
Freight, customs and transport.
06
Install
Civils, assembly and connections.
07
Commission
Testing and readiness.
08
Support
Maintenance and lifecycle services.
EXPLORATION CAMP SOLUTIONS
Everything required to operate in the field.
Modular facilities can be supplied individually, rented or purchased, or integrated into a complete camp with utilities, logistics and installation.
INDUSTRIES WE SERVE
Where the load is critical.
Deep experience in mining power, where an hour of downtime is measured in tonnes.
African experience
Operating across Southern and Central Africa, with a track record of delivering infrastructure to genuinely remote locations.
Mining specialists
We understand mining power requirements and what critical operational uptime really demands.
Turnkey delivery
One partner from concept through commissioning with no gaps between contractors for a problem to hide in.
Global procurement
Strategic sourcing through our international supply chain for competitive pricing on equipment that lasts.
Regional support
Operations in the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Africa and Zambia, with project support across the continent.
Long-term partnership
Maintenance, monitoring and optimisation keep the plant performing long after the ribbon is cut.
