ANDRITZ at Enlit Africa 2026
An incredible week in Cape Town is behind us. At Enlit Africa (19–21 May 2026), the continent's leading platform for the power, energy, and water sectors, one theme dominated every conversation: generating renewable energy is only half the story. Stabilizing and managing it is where the real challenge lies.
At our booth, we engaged directly with industry leaders, innovators, and decision-makers, sparking the kind of forward-looking discussions that give events like this their real value.
On stage, our experts addressed the issues that matter most:
Robert Neumann, Product Director Grid Solutions, explored the growing impact of Variable Renewable Energy on power system stability, and why Synchronous Condensers are making a powerful comeback. A cost-effective rotating machine delivering reactive power, voltage support, and the inertia capabilities essential for grids with high renewable penetration.
Joe Lumetzberger, Senior Director Africa, made the case for Pumped Storage as the backbone of South Africa's energy transition, delivering what no battery can match:
- Black start capability
- Long-duration reserve capacity
- Synchronous inertia for frequency stability
- Rapid grid flexibility
- Firming of solar & wind energy
- Full grid resilience
No battery delivers all six. Pumped Storage does.
With 100+ years in Africa and 40%+ of all installed turbines across the continent, ANDRITZ isn't just talking about Africa's energy future. We're building it.
