Power in Paarl
Paarl and Wellington are supplied by Drakenstein Municipality, with Eskom supplying many of the farms in the valley directly. Winter storms, wind, cable theft and faults on long farm lines are the usual causes of cuts. Wine farms and fruit packers need backup on cold rooms, pumps and cellar equipment, so the bigger requests are for 3 phase systems and generators alongside battery banks. Homes on the slopes of Paarl Mountain and in Courtrai and Denneburg ask for inverters to run lights, wifi and the gate. Summers in the Berg River valley are hot, and garages heat up fast, so ask where the battery will go.
Typical business backup power requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a home business or guesthouse needing more than a standard house backup package
- Farms and smallholdings: borehole and irrigation pumps, cold rooms and electric fences on 3 phase backup
- Shops, restaurants and salons: tills, card machines, lights, display fridges and the alarm kept running through outages
