Power in Welkom
Welkom is a gold field town in the middle of the maize belt, with mine shafts, mine hostels and planned suburbs laid out around traffic circles. The Matjhabeng Local Municipality supplies the town, buying from Eskom, while Eskom supplies some mines, farms and areas directly. Ageing infrastructure in parts of the network, cable theft and storm damage are behind many outages. With so many households on fixed incomes, plug-in options such as router UPS units, trolleys and rechargeable lights are common first purchases. Families in Riebeeckstad and Flamingo Park want lights, wifi and the gate covered, and farms out towards Odendaalsrus and Hennenman ask about pumps and fences. Lightning season needs surge protection.
The requests we see from Welkom usually come from:
- Homeowners: deep cycle batteries in a trolley or small inverter for lights and wifi
- Shops, restaurants and salons: AGM batteries keeping a till, card machine and lights going during outages
- Farms and smallholdings: flooded deep cycle banks in a ventilated shed for the fence and lights
