Richards Bay: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Richards Bay is a port and smelter town. Eskom supplies the biggest plants and some outlying areas directly, while uMhlathuze Municipality supplies most homes and businesses in town and in Empangeni. Storms off the Indian Ocean, lightning and cable theft are the usual causes of outages. Contractors and service firms that work for the port and plants ask for UPS units, site backup and portable power for offices and workshops. In Meerensee, Arboretum and Birdswood, households want lights, wifi, the gate and the fridge covered. Heat and humidity are intense in summer, and salt air reaches far inland, so keep kit inside and ventilated.

- Factories, warehouses, schools and churches: escape lighting and exit signs across factory floors, warehouses, schools and churches
- Homeowners: emergency bulbs in the passage and lounge and a lamp beside the DB board
