June 13, 2025, Pretoria, South Africa: The Tshwane Energy Summit addressed the city's energy transition.
Stratek Global's Dr. Kelvin Kemm presented the HTMR-100 nuclear reactor, a 100 MW heat and 35 MW electricity generator developed in Pretoria, as a solution.

In April 2024, Stratek Global partnered with Koya Capital for financing, aiming for operational plants within five years.
Tshwane plans microgrid electrification in informal settlements using solar and battery storage.
The city aims to repurpose power stations into energy hubs, targeting 1,000 MW of alternative energy within three years.
The city aims for a 3.9% growth rate and 80,000 new jobs by 2029, with stable energy supply.
Tshwane is implementing smart monitoring systems to combat infrastructure threats.
The focus is on investment and supply diversification for a sustainable energy future.
