Eskom Sandton

Megawatt Park is Eskom’s national head office located in Sunninghill, Sandton. It serves as the strategic and administrative center of the utility’s operations across South Africa. In addition to its executive functions, the site houses essential IT and operational infrastructure.

Within this complex, Eskom implemented a modular data center to support its internal digital systems and grid management. This facility is designed for flexibility, rapid deployment, and future scalability, addressing the organization’s evolving IT requirements.

The data center includes upgraded uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), with three units rated at 600 kVA each. These systems meet SANS 62040-1-2:2003 compliance standards and are engineered to handle demanding environmental conditions, such as temperature ranges from 10°C to 40°C and input frequency fluctuations of ±2%.

A building management system (BMS) is integrated for real-time monitoring and control, ensuring high operational reliability. The setup aligns with Eskom’s internal engineering standards and South African national codes for electrical and cabling infrastructure.
