Eskom plans to power SA households with micro-grids made of upcycled shipping containers

With nearly a third of the country not yet electrified, Eskom believes its containerised micro-grids – made of repurposed shipping containers – are an innovative way to solve for energy access, says its general manager for Just Energy Transition, Mandy Rambharos. Rambharos and Eskom CEO André de Ruyter on Wednesday participated in the Africa Renewable Investments Summit, held in Cape Town.
