The fourth and final day of Enlit Africa is the exclusive Site Visit day, which includes a full-day tour of some of Cape Town’s energy innovation hotspots. From the unique Robben Island tour to cutting-edge generation options, our Site Visit day gives delegates insight into solutions in the Western Cape and inspire ideas to apply at home.
This visit showcases a hybrid off-grid energy system combining solar PV and battery storage to power Robben Island, a national heritage site, under logistical and environmental constraints, offering lessons for remote and sensitive African locations.
Delegates visit the Strandfontein waste-to-energy project and V&A Waterfront desalination plant, illustrating how cities convert waste into energy and deploy decentralised desalination to address water scarcity and system failures.
Delegates will explore integrated energy generation, storage, and distribution at Atlantis Special Economic Zone, emphasising battery storage's role in grid stability and industrial embedded generation adapting to bidirectional energy flows. They will also see advanced switchgear technologies supporting decentralised grids.
An immersive visit to Koeberg Nuclear Power Station and Ankerlig Power Station demonstrating the balance between baseload nuclear power and flexible gas turbine generation, and highlighting operational trade-offs in grid stability, cost, and decarbonisation.
Enlit Africa, connects energy industry professionals and organisations to information and each other in a carefully curated live and online environment. Its purpose, to help shape Africa's Just Energy Transition and recognised as the continental Africa edition of the global Enlit series. www.enlitworld.com
