Outcome:
Lower operating costs, fewer production interruptions, and improved process efficiency.
Industry Challenges
Modern estates and residential developments are evolving fast — from standalone homes to integrated, semi-smart communities. However, developers, estate managers, and residents face persistent challenges that threaten livability and long-term asset value:
Unreliable grid supply: Frequent power interruptions disrupt comfort, security, and water systems in gated estates, creating high maintenance costs and resident dissatisfaction.
High energy costs: Rising tariffs and diesel reliance inflate operational budgets and service levies for Body Corporates and Homeowners Associations (HOAs).
Inefficient infrastructure: Many estates operate without coordinated energy planning—each household installs individual backup systems, leading to duplication, inefficiency, and uneven reliability.
Growing sustainability expectations: Buyers and tenants increasingly seek developments that integrate renewable energy, smart technology, and green design as standard.
Complexity of scaling solar or hybrid systems: Developers often lack the expertise to integrate estate-wide solar, storage, or backup infrastructure during project design and handover.
In Botswana and across the region, large residential projects must now balance comfort, sustainability, and cost efficiency—turning energy strategy into a competitive advantage.
EnergyPlus Solutions for Estates & Residential Developments
EnergyPlus partners with property developers, estate planners, and management associations to deliver fully integrated and future-ready energy infrastructure.
1. Estate Energy Master Planning
We design holistic energy blueprints for developments—covering power generation, storage, metering, and efficiency systems that optimize shared resources and reduce long-term costs.
2. Hybrid & Microgrid Power Systems
EnergyPlus delivers centralized or distributed hybrid systems (solar + battery + generator) that ensure reliable energy for essential services—such as lighting, water pumps, security systems, and gate operations.
3. Smart Metering & Energy Monitoring Platforms
We implement IoT-enabled sub-metering and real-time monitoring systems, allowing estate managers and residents to track consumption, allocate costs transparently, and encourage energy-saving behavior.
4. Backup & Load Management Solutions
From integrated estate backup systems to individual home solutions, we ensure consistent, automated power transfer during grid outages—reducing generator noise, fuel use, and downtime.
5. ESG & Green Development Advisory
Through our Sustainability & Carbon Management team, we help developers align projects with green building standards (EDGE, LEED) and prepare sustainability reports that enhance marketability and access to green financing.
6. Collaboration with SolarPro Energy
EnergyPlus collaborates with SolarPro Energy, the residential solar division of EQ Energy Group, to provide seamless backup and rooftop solar packages for individual homes within estates—combining convenience and scalability.
