Robben Island connects microgrid for sustainable energy

Robben Island, South Africa, has a geography so daunting that for centuries it housed a notorious sun-baked, windswept prison, where Nelson Mandela spent 18 years under the apartheid regime. Now a World Heritage Site, the island has just become an exemplar of the clean-energy future. To power Robben Island, South Africa’s Department of Tourism has just installed a new solar-powered microgrid built with advanced technologies from ABB.
