Engineering, Procurement and Construction

To ensure your solar plant is delivered on time, in budget and up to standard, we implement strong project management practices.

This involves:

• Creating detailed execution plans
• Handling all communication among the JUWI team, the client, and external parties
• Generating and sharing comprehensive progress reports
• Monitoring costs
• Addressing project risks
• Developing a quality assurance plan
• Overseeing contractual obligations, issues, and claims

Large-scale construction projects in remote areas can often cause concerns for local communities. At JUWI, we recognize this and make it a priority to ensure that residents understand the purpose and process behind our projects.

Before construction commences, we establish an engagement platform that remains active throughout the project's duration. Community engagements take place regularly, guided by community leaders and other interested parties. Various structures and forums are created to facilitate ongoing interaction and open discussions on community-related matters. Some of the scheduled meetings include:

• Public Participation Sessions: One-time mass meetings to keep the community informed.
• Stakeholder Engagement Forum: Monthly meetings for continuous dialogue.
• Steering Committee: Bi-monthly/Quarterly meetings for in-depth discussions.
• Consultative Forum: Monthly on-site meetings to address specific issues.

Our commitment is to maintain transparency and foster collaboration to address any concerns and ensure a positive impact on the community.

With a grid-connected renewable energy system, excess energy can be fed back into the grid, and during periods when renewable resources, such as sunshine, are unavailable, the grid can provide electricity to keep operations running without relying on a battery storage system.

Connecting a plant to the grid involves:

• Grid assessments
• Contract expertise
• Grid synchronization
• Grid stability solutions
• Understanding of transmission and distribution infrastructure
• Cabling and wiring
• Grid compliance and regulation
• Advanced control systems
• Cybersecurity measures
• Testing and commissioning
• Grid monitoring and data analysis
• SCADA Installation
