Vertiv to showcase critical infrastructure solutions for Africa’s mining sector at Electra Mining Africa 2026

Vertiv, a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, will participate as an exhibitor at Electra Mining Africa 2026, together with XCEED Infrastructure Technologies, a provider of end-to-end, custom-engineered electrical and power solutions. The event runs from 7 to 11 September 2026, and will take place at the Johannesburg Expo Centre, Nasrec.

At the XCEED/ Vertiv stand, number P51, Electra Mining attendees can meet with Vertiv representatives and learn how Vertiv’s portfolio of critical digital infrastructure solutions can help address common challenges in mining and industrial applications, including:

• Vertiv™ EnergyCore Grid

  , a scalable, high-capacity battery energy storage system (BESS) designed for constrained grids, hybrid power systems and remote locations. Supporting grid-connected and island operation, it delivers fast-acting stabilisation, seamless integration and flexible deployment for critical infrastructure.

• The

  Vertiv™ PowerUPS 6000 Industrial UPS (uninterruptible power supply) system

  , which redefines versatility for commercial and industrial applications like mining, manufacturing, transportation, logistics, cement, and oil and gas with a compact, single- or three-phase design (6–200 kVA). Engineered for resilience, it delivers high performance in harsh physical and electrical conditions to protect mission-critical infrastructure.

• The company’s broad range of pre-engineered infrastructure solutions that integrate power, cooling and monitoring for modular scalability and up to 50% faster deployment than traditional data centre builds. This includes the Vertiv™ SmartAisle™ edge data centre solution, as well as the Vertiv™ SmartMod™ Max modular data centre system.

“At Vertiv, we are seeing ongoing interest from mining organisations across Africa looking to improve power stability, integrate alternative energy sources, enhance operational efficiency and support future growth through modern infrastructure,” says Wojtek Piorko, managing director for Africa at Vertiv.

“Electra Mining Africa 2026 provides an important opportunity for us to further engage with industry stakeholders and demonstrate how solutions such as battery energy storage systems (BESS), industrial UPS systems, integrated infrastructure solutions and intelligent monitoring can help mines improve operational resilience and support energy-efficiency objectives.”
