TGS Prediktor has delivered its Prediktor PowerView plant SCADA solution for Scatec’s Mmadinare Solar Cluster in Botswana, supporting the country’s push to expand renewable energy generation and strengthen its power supply through large-scale solar development.
The Mmadinare Solar Cluster, located in eastern Botswana near the village of Mmadinare, is being developed in two phases with a combined planned capacity of 120 megawatts. Scatec recently announced commercial operation of the first 60-megawatt phase, while the remaining capacity is currently under construction.
TGS Prediktor implemented PowerView to provide a unified platform for real-time monitoring, operational control, and performance analysis across the project. The system collects and aggregates high-resolution operational data from plant equipment, enabling operators to monitor performance, detect faults, and manage operations from a centralised interface, while also tracking production KPIs and generating operational reports to support efficient asset management.
“Botswana is taking important steps to strengthen its energy mix through large-scale solar development,” said Will Ashby, EVP Business Development at TGS. “Digital platforms like PowerView help operators scale renewable generation efficiently by providing the operational visibility and intelligence needed to manage assets, optimize performance, and support long-term portfolio growth.”
The solar cluster is expected to generate 280 gigawatt-hours of clean energy annually, leading to an estimated reduction of 380,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions, and further strengthens the long-standing collaboration between TGS Prediktor and Scatec in delivering digital solutions for large-scale renewable energy assets.
