Electrical Engineer
Renewable energy • Microgrids • Control
Hi, I'm John Maree
I work on renewable energy systems across South Africa and the rest of the continent. My focus is microgrids and microgrid control systems — designing, integrating, and keeping real systems stable.

What I do
I'm an Electrical Engineer specialising in microgrids and control systems for microgrids. I care about systems that work in the field: robust controls, clean commissioning, and pragmatic engineering tradeoffs.
I have a passion for solving real-world problems and making meaningful impact through the work that I do.
