Challenge

Midland Group’s Wolwehoek operation includes an abattoir, feedlot and piggery, where reliable electricity is essential to maintain production, refrigeration and day-to-day operations. Rising electricity costs and an unreliable grid supply created growing pressure on operational continuity and long-term energy costs.

Solution

HolmStone implemented a tailored rooftop solar PV system to provide reliable on-site energy during daily operations, reducing dependence on the grid and improving overall energy resilience across the facility.

To ensure long-term performance, the project is supported through a comprehensive Service Level Agreement (SLA) with HolmStone providing ongoing monitoring, preventative maintenance and technical support across the Wolwehoek operation. 

This proactive approach helped to maximise system performance, minimise downtime and ensure the energy infrastructure continues to support the client’s production requirements.

Result

The project provides Midland Group with a reliable and cost-effective energy supply, while protecting critical production processes from unnecessary disruption. 

Combined with long-term monitoring and technical support, the operation benefits from an energy partner focused on maintaining system performance and supporting the facility’s ongoing energy requirements.
