In South Africa, we face a pressing challenge – power outages. These outages are inconvenient and have a significant economic and social impact. While the country’s power outages are primarily caused by load shedding to prevent the grid from collapsing due to excessive demand, we also experience unplanned power interruptions due to various factors, such as ESKOMS’s failing infrastructure and extreme weather conditions. These outages disrupt daily life, businesses, and critical services.
In this blog, we’ll explore how Standby Systems is helping South Africans tackle this issue.
