A typical estate today

  • ✕A diesel or petrol generator in every compound
  • ✕Private boreholes and pumps per house
  • ✕Unreliable grid power
  • ✕Noise, fumes and fuel runs
  • ✕Each household pays for and maintains its own kit

  • ✓Shared solar and battery for everyone, diesel only as backup
  • ✓One efficient water system
  • ✓Reliable, metered 24-hour power
  • ✓Quieter, cleaner air, lower emissions
  • ✓A professional utility runs and maintains it all

One month in the estate

How a household's bill ends up repaying the infrastructure.

  1. 1

    A resident uses power & water

    Lights, fans, fridge — measured by their meter.

  2. 2

    They pay their bill

    Prepaid or monthly, into a controlled account.

  3. 3

    Running costs come first

    Staff, repairs, insurance, replacement savings.

  4. 4

    The lender is repaid

    Only once costs and reserves are covered.

  5. 5

    Anything left goes to investors

    Then the cycle repeats every month for 15+ years.
