The Matthews Group is a locally owned family run business with 40+ years of electrical engineering and contracting foundations. We partner with EPC’s providing professional and competitive power solutions focusing on the renewable energy sector. This extends into all spheres of electrical construction and engineering. With the ever-increasing cost of electrical energy and the unreliable and inadequate electricity supply in certain areas of the country, MG have concentrated their efforts in the area of sustainable energy installations. This includes energy audits and the optimisation of generating plant and the installation of sustainable alternative energy sources such as PV systems. This often would include the optimising of the medium voltage reticulation for minimal down time for operations, in the event of power outages from the local service provider. This would include electrical turnkey projects where there is a design element, generation of documentation including technical drawings and the final installation and commissioning of the installation. A number of projects completed in the sustainable energy and energy saving space include complete energy audits of properties, the submission of an energy reports and proposed usage optimisation recommendations covering the following: Hot water systems, lighting, pumping installations, optimising existing generation capacity, potential upgrading of existing MV reticulation, and load shifting programs to optimise power usage in off-peak tariffs. Further to the above, MG have connected solar energy into various commercial, industrial and residential installations for clients.
