THE CHALLENGE

Guinea’s Central Bank wished to reduce its dependence on the nation’s electricity grid (EDG), because the voltage was unstable and the network was subject to almost daily shortages – despite extremely high rates. The Bank also wanted to reduce its dependence on using diesel-powered generators. Rematek Energy had to devise a very sophisticated control system to tap into four energy sources, in the following order: solar power, storage system, EDG grid, and diesel generators. Furthermore, the system had to be installed and commissioned without disrupting in any way the central bank’s operationsthat which are vital to the country’s economy.

RESULT

Guinea’s Central Bank can now count on a FREE supply of electricity that is not only reliable but also stable and that rarely connects to the national energy grid. Local workers have also acquired key skills given the country’s energy situation.
