Kragdag 2025 has wrapped up—and the verdict from South Africa’s farming community is clear: the future of farm power is here.
Last week, thousands of farmers and agri-business leaders gathered at Kragdag to explore the innovations shaping agriculture’s next chapter. For GPT Renewables, it was an opportunity to prove that our containerised, solar-first power solutions aren’t just a good idea—they’re delivering results in the field right now.
From the moment the gates opened, the GPT Renewables stand was buzzing. Farmers from across the country came to see the Power Box, Juice Box, and VoltBox in action—solutions designed for Africa’s toughest conditions, capable of delivering reliable, clean energy to everything from irrigation pumps and cold storage to rural processing plants and security systems.
Farmers Spoke, We Listened
The conversations at Kragdag reflected the challenges farmers face daily:
- Unpredictable grid supply leading to costly downtime.
- Soaring diesel prices are squeezing already tight margins.
- The need for scalable solutions that can grow with their operations.
By demonstrating our systems’ plug-and-play deployment, 4G/5G remote monitoring, and LiFePO4 battery storage—all backed up by optional diesel integration—farmers saw how GPT Renewables can deliver measurable savings, improved uptime, and reduced environmental impact.
A Movement Towards Energy Independence
Kragdag wasn’t just a showcase; it was a catalyst. Several farmers signed up for on-site energy assessments on the spot, ready to take advantage of GPT’s custom ROI modelling to chart their energy transition. Many more are exploring green financing options now available for climate-smart agri-projects—making clean energy adoption not only possible, but profitable.
Capturing the Energy of the Event
Our photography and drone footage from Kragdag capture the energy, the innovation, and the determination of South Africa’s farming community to take control of their power supply. From live system demos to farmers shaking hands on new projects, it’s a powerful visual story of change in action.
The Next Step is Yours
Whether you visited our stand or couldn’t make it this year, you can still take advantage of our Kragdag momentum. GPT Renewables is offering free consultations to farmers looking to cut diesel dependency, secure essential operations, and future-proof their energy supply.
