Production interruptions
Unplanned outages can interrupt processing, disrupt schedules and affect equipment. We assess your critical loads and operating constraints to define the supply reliability your operation requires.
Mining & Industry
Power solutions for mining and industry in the DRC
Your energy supply should support production, control operating costs and give your business room to grow.
ITRA GROUP develops solar power, battery storage and dedicated electricity distribution projects for mining and industrial consumers in Lubumbashi, Likasi, Kolwezi and surrounding areas.
An energy solution built around your operation
Dependence on diesel
Generators provide essential backup, but fuel deliveries, maintenance and operating costs create additional demands. We examine how solar generation and battery storage could reduce your reliance on diesel.
Electricity costs
We review your current electricity sources and costs to assess a commercially viable alternative. A long-term power purchase agreement provides an agreed pricing framework and greater visibility over future energy expenditure.
Supply availability
Daytime operations, night shifts and continuous processes have different requirements. Generation, storage and distribution must be assessed together against your actual operating hours and demand.
Future expansion
Additional production lines, processing capacity or new facilities can change your electricity requirements. We consider your planned growth when assessing the initial solution and potential future extensions.
From your requirements to a proposed solution
Understand your operation
We start with your location, energy use, peak demand, operating hours, critical processes and existing supplies. Initial estimates are enough for the first discussion. Where available, meter readings or an hourly load profile help us understand when electricity is needed and assess future expansion.
Assess technical and economic feasibility
Solar generation is sized against your demand profile and the solar resource. Battery power and usable stored energy are assessed against the loads and hours to be covered. Distribution design considers distance, route, voltage and electrical constraints. Technical and economic studies determine the feasible configuration and expected supply cost.
Develop the commercial proposal
Where feasible, we define a proposed supply configuration, availability level, delivery arrangements and PPA terms. ITRA GROUP finances, builds and maintains the infrastructure included in the agreed offer, with no upfront CAPEX required from your business.
