MINI-GRID
Mini-grid EPC and prepaid smart metering for communities and estates
Engineering, procurement and construction of solar mini-grids with prepaid smart meters, remote upgrades and tariffs around $0.11/kWh.
Mini-grids are one of the fastest routes to reliable power for communities, estates and business clusters that the main grid serves poorly. Ionir Integral delivers mini-grids under an EPC model — one accountable contractor from design to commissioning — for developers, investors and private owners.
Smart metering built in
Our mini-grids use prepaid smart meters so customers can track and manage consumption in real time. Meter capacity can be upgraded remotely as household or business demand grows, and electricity can be delivered at around $0.11 per kWh — significantly below the cost of running small petrol or diesel generators.
What we deliver
- Demand surveys that estimate realistic, not optimistic, consumption
- Generation, battery and distribution network design
- Procurement, civil works, installation and commissioning
- Prepaid metering and vending setup
- Documentation to support the regulatory process for the mini-grid's size and location
