Case studies

Projects we can put numbers to

LED conversions across airports, schools, cold stores, factories and offices. Every figure is traced to project close-out data and stated as an estimate. Value is carried in kilowatt hours, maximum demand, months and tonnes of carbon, never in rand.

All figures are estimates derived from project close-out data and standard operating assumptions, and will vary with tariff, run hours and site conditions. They are indicative of the results achieved on each project and are not a guarantee of results on another site. Carbon is calculated from energy at 1.03 tCO₂e/MWh, the Eskom grid factor applied at the time.
