Stand Alone Power Systems (SAPS) are one of the innovative solutions we use at Evoenergy to keep our network safe and reliable.
SAPS provide power to properties and communities without the need for a traditional connection to the electricity grid.
How SAPS work
SAPS are independent power systems that use a combination of energy sources, such as solar panels, alongside battery storage and backup generation to provide electricity.
Unlike traditional network connections, SAPS operate autonomously and are tailored to meet the unique needs of each location.
SAPS are installed, owned, operated and maintained by Evoenergy.
When SAPS are used
These systems are beneficial for remote and hard to access areas, as well as bushfire-prone areas. They also reduce network maintenance costs as powerlines are not needed in areas with SAPS.
In the ACT there are two Stand Alone Power Systems.
