Well coordinated programme The aspect that was missing is how to to obtain data and utilise and deploy such to facilitate energy / electricity load demand for a particular estate(s). Our approach to energising real estates should be data driven. The question is how do we obtain such data. What modalities should be adopted to have a seamless approach in obtaining the required data for planning, implementation and execution of the energisatoon of estates and/or communities. A thought for the next webinar for the attainment of not only a sustainable power supply but also incremental in energy generation and supply.
