Rural Electrification

Eskom awarded design responsibilities to emerging engineering firms, creating opportunities for smaller enterprises to grow.

ProjectWay quickly recognized that the design phase would require extensive mentorship and training. With consultants struggling to meet deadlines and designs often requiring corrective work, our team stepped in to provide structure, guidance, and oversight—ensuring quality and compliance while keeping the project moving forward.

The construction phase presented formidable challenges. Remote communities lacked basic infrastructure, with some sites accessible only by footpaths where donkeys carried transformers, conductors, and poles.

Demand surged as word spread, with migration into targeted areas and political negotiations adding complexity. Illegal connections further strained supply once services were energized. Despite these obstacles, ProjectWay delivered. By combining technical expertise, logistical ingenuity, and stakeholder management, we ensured that thousands of households gained access to electricity—transforming lives and communities across the province.
