Renewable energy sources are the key alternatives to mitigate the issue of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and to meet the ever increasing electricity demand. In South Africa, most energy is consumed by the industrial sectors when discretely compared to other sectors. Industrial consumers can reduce their electricity costs by creating an optimally managed onsite renewable energy system. Hydrokinetic is a promising renewable technology that has proved to offer a cost-effective electrification solution in areas with flowing water resources when compared to solar and wind technologies.
