Portable power stations are popular for flats in Central and Humewood, and CCTV systems in estates around Lorraine run on 12 V supplies with battery backup.
Backing up in Gqeberha
Nelson Mandela Bay Metro supplies Gqeberha, and the wind does a fair share of the damage. Strong gusts bring down lines and blow debris into overhead equipment, and cable theft and substation faults add to the cuts in parts of the city. Homes in Walmer, Summerstrand and Lorraine ask for inverters with lithium banks, while flats in Central and Humewood often choose plug-in units. Component suppliers to the automotive industry in Markman and Struandale ask for factory UPS and office backup, and there is steady work in shops and clinics in Newton Park. The sea air is salty and the wind carries it a long way inland, so ask how terminals and enclosures are protected.
The requests we see from Gqeberha usually come from:
- Homeowners: a power station in the lounge running wifi, lights, the TV and phone chargers
- Factories, warehouses, schools and churches: stations for site offices, film shoots, outdoor events and maintenance teams in the field
- Offices and home offices: a power station per desk so laptops, screens and the router keep running
