PREPARING FOR LOAD-SHEDDING IN WINTER - DOS AND DON’TS OF BUYING POWER-GENERATING ALTERNATIVES

GUEST – Funeka Ngewu, Head of Claims at Momentum Insure<br /> <br /> With the looming possibility of stage 8 load shedding and persistent stage 6 load shedding, South Africa is in for a difficult winter. As temperatures drop, power demand will increase, and misery will kick in for those who cannot afford power-generating alternatives, and for those who can, they will be streaming to market for alternatives to get off the grid. This dire situation has driven some people to look to inverters as another way to dodge blackouts. However, this can be detrimental if safety procedures are not followed when procuring and installing power-generating alternatives. <a href="http://www.kayafm.co.za/">Kaya FM </a>
