UPS & portable power in Johannesburg: local notes
Students in Braamfontein and Auckland Park, and people renting flats in Hillbrow and Yeoville, ask most for a router UPS that keeps the fibre box and router alive, or a mid-size power station for a laptop and a lamp. Small shops along Bree Street and in the Fashion District put tills and card machines on a line-interactive UPS. Emergency lights for stairwells in older blocks are another regular request.
Backing up in Johannesburg
Most of Johannesburg is supplied by City Power, while Eskom supplies parts of Soweto and a few outlying areas directly, so households a few streets apart can live with quite different outage patterns. Cable theft in the south and along rail lines, ageing underground cables in the inner city and overloaded local substations cause many of the longer interruptions, and Highveld summer storms add their share. In Melville, Parkhurst and Kensington, owners of older houses usually want an inverter and lithium battery for the lights, wifi, fridge and gate. Tenants in Braamfontein and Berea lean on router UPS units and power stations instead. Old wiring is common, so expect an electrician to look at the DB board before quoting.
Who asks for portable power stations around Johannesburg, most often first:

- Offices and home offices: a power station per desk so laptops, screens and the router keep running
- Shops, restaurants and salons: a station behind the counter running the card machine, till, router and lights
