What to know locally in Cape Town
Offices in Century City and the CBD keep servers and networks on rack UPS units, while restaurants in Woodstock and Kloof Street put tills and card machines on small UPS units.

Power in Cape Town
The City of Cape Town supplies most of the metro, with Eskom supplying some areas directly. The wind is the local troublemaker: south-easters in summer and cold-front storms in winter bring down lines and trip feeders, and cable theft and substation faults add to the outages in parts. Townhouse complexes in the southern suburbs and the Atlantic seaboard ask for inverters that fit in small spaces, and businesses in Woodstock, Epping and Montague Gardens ask for UPS units and office backup. Many households in Claremont and Rondebosch add solar to a hybrid system. Wet winters and salt air near the coast are hard on equipment, so ask installers how the kit is protected.
Typical UPS for computers and servers requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a pure sine UPS for the gaming PC, the home NAS and the study desktop
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: a UPS for the estate office PC, the access control server and camera recorder
- Offices and home offices: desk UPS units for each workstation and a rack UPS for the server and switches
