About Our Company
What We Do
We assist factories, foundries and other clients in the heavy industry to become less dependent on utility power.
We do this by developing dedicated power generating facilities to supply their electricity needs. Projects can be funded off balance sheet, using debt capital or by bringing equity partners on board. Sometimes a mix of these options works best.
Why It Matters
In Africa and various other parts of the world generating capacity is under massive strain and large industry players such as foundries and mines are regularly instructed to cut back on usage in order to maintain grid stability. These cut-backs result in massive losses in revenue – eroding job security and stifling economic growth. At ADC Projects we help to alleviate the effect of cut-backs and ensure that the wheels of industry keep turning.
Gas Powered Engines
