This webinar highlighted their mission to provide 100% electricity to Africa, addressing the current 80% coal reliance and load shedding issues. Despite progress in renewable energy, South Africa’s energy landscape remains dominated by coal, with only 3 GW of new projects in 2023. Asoba’s AI-driven virtual power plant aims to optimize energy use, predict supply and demand, and make real-time dispatch decisions. Developed with AWS, our system forecasts energy needs and optimizes grid management, reducing curtailed energy and enhancing efficiency. The platform also supports selling excess solar energy to the grid, potentially saving users up to 40% on electricity bills.
