Power in Mbombela
Down in the Lowveld, heat and humidity are the first things a battery installer in Mbombela thinks about. Summers are hot and sticky, with heavy afternoon thunderstorms that bring lightning and knock out lines, and a battery bank in a closed garage or a tin outbuilding can run hot. The City of Mbombela supplies most of the town, while Eskom feeds many rural villages, farms and plots directly, and long lines through hills and plantations are exposed to storms and falling branches. Homes in Sonheuwel and Riverside Park back up essentials, lodges and guesthouses want guests comfortable, and citrus, macadamia and banana farms ask about pumps, cold rooms and packhouse gear.
The requests we see from Mbombela usually come from:
- Homeowners: a power station in the lounge running wifi, lights, the TV and phone chargers
- Farms and smallholdings: a station for the farmhouse, the bakkie or a remote camp without mains power
- Shops, restaurants and salons: a station behind the counter running the card machine, till, router and lights
