Tzaneen notes on ups & portable power
Clinics in Nkowankowa and practices in town use UPS units for computers and vaccine fridges. Farm offices near Letsitele back up computers, radios and packhouse scales.

Tzaneen: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Tzaneen is surrounded by subtropical farms: avocados, bananas, mangoes, citrus and nuts in the Letsitele valley and on the slopes up to Magoebaskloof. That makes farms one of the biggest buyers of backup power here. The Greater Tzaneen Municipality supplies parts of the town, and Eskom supplies many farms and villages directly over long lines through hills and plantations, which storms, lightning and falling trees can bring down. Packhouses and cold rooms cannot be left warm for long, and irrigation pumps stop when the power does. In town, homes and guesthouses back up essentials. The heat and humidity of the Lowveld valleys mean ventilated, shaded battery rooms.
The requests we see from Tzaneen usually come from:
- Farms and smallholdings: a UPS for the farm office PC, router and the irrigation controller in the pump house
- Homeowners: a UPS behind the TV and decoder or under the study desk for the PC
- Shops, restaurants and salons: a small UPS on each till, card machine and receipt printer so sales keep going
