What to know locally in Richards Bay

Gate motors in Empangeni and Meerensee are busy through storms. Plants and transport yards in Alton generate old lead acid batteries, which scrap dealers buy, while lithium goes to specialist recyclers.
Backing up in Richards Bay
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.
Typical lithium batteries requests in the area come from:
- Factories, warehouses, schools and churches: larger lithium banks for offices, control rooms and data cabinets on site
- Homeowners: a 5 kWh lithium battery behind the inverter to carry lights, wifi and the fridge
- Offices and home offices: lithium storage behind an inverter so computers, network and phones stay up
