Saki's first full year on the grid
Eighteen months after we switched on Saki, the town has 9,400 customers and close to 20 hours of supply a day. Here is what changed, and what still needs work.

From gas to your switch, in four steps.
Gas in
Gas arrives at Omi-Adio by pipeline and is cleaned before it reaches the turbines.
Turbines turn
Four turbines make up to 240 MW. Ibarapa adds 50 MW of solar by day and 20 MWh from batteries after dark.
Lines carry it
132 kV and 33 kV lines run to our substations, then 11 kV feeders run into each town.
Your meter counts it
A prepaid or smart meter at your door. Buy units in the app, by USSD, at an agent or here.

What our customers say.
Since the bakery moved to the Deltaline three-phase line, we have stopped buying diesel for the ovens. That money now pays two more staff.
A pole fell in the storm at 11pm. The AI line took the report, and the crew was there before midnight.
Our factory runs two shifts. Two feeds into the estate means one fault no longer stops the line.
