Bloemfontein: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Bloemfontein is the Free State's capital and home to a big university, courts and hospitals, so offices, students and medical practices are all strong buyers of backup power. The Mangaung Metro supplies the city and buys bulk from Eskom, and in parts of the older network faults, cable theft and storm damage cause outages. Winters on the Free State plateau are cold, with frost, and summers bring thunderstorms with lightning. Families in Langenhoven Park and Brandwag back up lights, wifi, the fridge and the gate. Medical practices and pharmacies want UPS on computers and fridges. Keep batteries indoors, since cold can stop some lithium batteries from charging.
