Conveners
Session 1A: In the dark
- Maria Mvungi (TENET)
Description
Stage 16 load-shedding? The impact of load-shedding is profound, and many institutions are now planning for higher stages. Critically, if load shedding gets worse, campuses may be forced to shut down certain aspects of their operations, whereas others will become indispensable. In this session, we’d like to explore power resilience options, accommodating renewable/embedded generation, integrating energy efficiency, technical considerations, and sharing best practices and lessons learned.
