Independent energy advisory for Botswana and the region

Make every energy decision count.

We audit your energy position, develop the right strategy and help ensure your energy investments deliver the performance your business needs.

Accountable to your business case, not to a product.

Peak ratePeak rate Bought from grid 00:0006:0012:0018:0024:00
What an audit finds: solar covers part of the midday load, but the evening peak is still bought from the grid at peak rates. That is where the next question starts.

Most energy projects have a gap where accountability should be.

A consultant writes the report. An installer builds the system. A maintenance contractor keeps it running. Each is paid to finish their part, and nobody is paid to check that the business case came true.

EnergyPlus joins the front end of an energy project, from feasibility and procurement to delivery oversight, with the back end: performance monitoring, asset management and the protection of financial returns.

More about EnergyPlus
Each party hands over when its own work ends. We stay with the business case until the savings and returns are proven.

Three stages of work, one accountable partner.

Buy one stage or all three. Each stands on its own and makes the next one better informed.

How we work, in detail
  1. 01
    Audit

    Baseline

    We analyse your bills, tariffs, sites and existing assets to establish what you spend, where and why.

  2. 02
    Strategy

    Business case

    We model options for cost, payback, IRR and risk, then rank them in a roadmap you can take to your board or funder.

  3. 03
    Strategy

    Selection

    We run independent tenders and compare suppliers on the same technical and financial criteria.

  4. 04
    Strategy

    Delivery

    We oversee construction and commissioning so what is built matches what was specified and paid for.

  5. 05
    Performance

    Proof

    We monitor results against forecast, investigate losses and manage contractors and warranties.

Start where you are.

You want to understand your costs

Commission an audit on its own, with no commitment to a project.

A contractor is already delivering

We can review the business case and oversee delivery.

You already own a system

We take over performance management, even if we did not design it.

We stay after the installation.

A system that works on commissioning day can still miss its business case. Every month we compare what it generates and saves against the forecast, find the cause of any shortfall and manage the response.

  • Actual and forecast output, side by side
  • Savings verified against an agreed baseline
  • Faults, losses and the contractor or warranty action taken
  • One view across every site, for owners, investors and lenders

Performance-linked fees are offered only where the baseline, measurement method and attribution of savings are defined in the contract.

Monthly solar output vs forecast Illustrative

What monitoring finds: an August to September shortfall is traced to an inverter fault and corrected under warranty. Output is back on forecast in October.

Built for businesses where energy decides the margin.

We work mainly with commercial and industrial energy users, and with the investors and lenders who back them.

All industries

Manufacturing and industry

Reduce energy cost per unit produced, improve power reliability and test solar, storage and efficiency investments.

“Why does every unit we make cost more to power?”

Property, retail and logistics

Compare energy spend across sites, manage portfolios of energy assets and verify savings facility by facility.

“Are the savings showing up on the bill at every site?”

Mining, agriculture and large users

Evaluate high-demand infrastructure, operational continuity and long-term power supply alternatives.

“What does an outage cost us, and what are our options?”

Investors, lenders and asset owners

Run independent due diligence, validate project assumptions, oversee delivery and protect asset returns.

“Will this system deliver the returns in the model?”

Independent advice, including from our own group.

EnergyPlus is part of DLX Africa, whose companies supply solar, electrical and HVAC equipment. That helps when it is the right fit. When it is not, we say so.

  • We recommend a competitor or a different solution whenever it serves your business case better.
  • We tell you about any commercial relationship before we recommend anything.
  • Every proposal, ours or anyone else’s, is compared on the same technical and financial criteria.
  • Advice and supply are separate contracts, and you are never charged twice for the same work without clear disclosure.
  • Performance-sensitive projects get independent technical verification.
