The Vision
A preview of what this project aims to achieve once fully delivered.
The Problem
Weak power infrastructure across the campus
Heavy, costly dependence on diesel generators
Escalating utility costs that strain the school’s budget every year
High cost of power from the national grid, driving up operational expenses
No guaranteed uptime for digital systems, records or security infrastructure
The Solution
A hybrid solar power system with gas-powered backup generation
A dedicated smart distribution network with battery storage
Independent, solar-supported power redundancy for the data center, security systems and student records, so these can never go down
Smart energy and metering systems, plus modernised street lighting
