TGS Prediktor has announced the delivery of its Prediktor PowerViewTM Plant SCADA solution for Scatec’s Mmadinare Solar Cluster in Botswana. The project contributes to Botswana’s efforts to expand renewable energy generation and strengthen the country’s 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 total planned installed capacity of 120 MW. Scatec recently announced commercial operation of the first 60 MW phase, while the remaining capacity is currently under construction.
TGS Prediktor implemented PowerView, providing a unified platform for real-time monitoring, operational control, and performance analysis across the project.
PowerView collects and aggregates high-resolution operational data from plant equipment, enabling operators to monitor performance, detect faults, and manage operations from a centralized interface.
Through its scalable architecture, PowerView enables operators to visualize plant performance, manage alarms and events, track production KPIs, and generate operational reports to support efficient asset management across renewable portfolios.
'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 GWh of clean energy annually, leading to an estimated reduction of 380,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions.
The Mmadinare project further strengthens the long-standing collaboration between TGS Prediktor and Scatec in delivering digital solutions that support the efficient operation of large-scale renewable energy assets.
