Power Act

With the shortage of a reliable power source in South
Africa, it is imperative that all South Africans investigate the viability of Generator and UPS Power.

Background
In 2006 Power Act’s sister company Etech ISP Net received overwhelming re quests from customers to help with business
continuity with regards to their IT infrastructure.
Hence we started actively investigating the viability of the Power Generator and UPS market.

No water, no future

At the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development held here in South Africa, Nelson Mandela famously said “No Water, No Future”.

He was referring to the fact that this precious resource is undeniably getting scarcer in many regions around the world, and particularly in Africa and here in South Africa. It is up to all citizens and industry to help in this regard, but the tourism
industry should be more resourceful when it comes to consumption of water and how much it provides to tourists.

Power saving tips for you and your staff

In the past few months “load shedding” has become one of South Africa’s most commonly used phrases. Last year this time, many people didn’t even know what it meant.

If you have been living in a cave, then you would be forgiven for not knowing that load shedding has been Eskom, South Africa’s power utility’s, euphemism for the rolling blackouts that have
plagued the country since the last few weeks of 2007.
On a macro scale, these power cuts have had a wide impact on the country’s economy and the ability for industry to produce at full capacity. On a smaller scale, it has affected people at the very centre of their lives – at home, work and on the roads. All sectors of the economy are affected at times of load shedding, but the accommodation and hospitality industry is particularly hard hit –
especially the small business owners who run guest houses, bed and breakfasts and the like.
