            <description><![CDATA[When it comes to electrical rotating machine performance and longevity, one factor is often underestimated but absolutely vital: insulation quality. The insulation system within an electrical rotating machine is not just a passive barrier; it is a fundamental component that determines the machine’s ability to perform efficiently, reliably and safely, especially under harsh environmental conditions. Electrical rotating machines operate under a range of stresses, including thermal, electrical, mechanical and environmental. The insulation system acts as a shield that protects the machine windings from these stresses, preventing short circuits, reducing energy losses, and ultimately safe-guarding the machine from premature failure. High-quality insulation ensures the electrical rotating machine can maintain its performance over time, regardless of demanding operating conditions.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[South Africa is emerging as one of the most active battery energy storage markets in the developing world, as both government and private-sector players accelerate efforts to stabilise the national grid and integrate more renewable power. Boasting about 1.3 GWh of installed battery capacity, studies show that the country ranks eighth for installed battery energy storage systems (BESS) globally. This quick rise has been driven by the need to address loadshedding, decarbonise the power system and support renewable generation. Mulilo is one of the companies leading this transition and has positioned BESS at the centre of its growth strategy. Mulilo CEO Jan Fourie says battery storage is no longer optional but essential to South Africa’s energy future.]]></description>
