East London notes on backup systems & services
Homes in Beacon Bay, Gonubie and Nahoon usually start with a 5 kVA hybrid on an essential circuit, sometimes with panels on the roof. Suppliers in the West Bank and around the IDZ ask for a 3 phase backup on offices and critical lines. Repair workshops in Wilsonia see inverters damaged by storms and by salt on the coast, so ask about surge protection.
Power in East London
Buffalo City Metro supplies East London, and outages here come from coastal storms, wind, cable theft and faults on parts of an older network. The vehicle assembly plant and its suppliers in the West Bank and the East London Industrial Development Zone drive demand for business backup and UPS units, and their shift workers want reliable power at home. Houses in Beacon Bay, Nahoon and Vincent ask for inverters with lithium banks to run lights, wifi, the fridge and the gate. Further inland, Mdantsane and Bhisho add requests from government offices, schools and clinics. Humid salt air off the Indian Ocean is the main caution for equipment near the coast, so ask about sealed enclosures.

The requests we see from East London usually come from:
- Homeowners: an inverter and battery fitted on an essential circuit, with a CoC, in a day
- Factories, warehouses, schools and churches: 3 phase installs with sub-boards, switchgear and generator interlocks in plant rooms
- Offices and home offices: an inverter wired to office circuits after hours so work is not interrupted
