Similar to other local organisations, big-four bank Absa “definitely” has an alternative power plan in place, to mitigate the pressures of load-shedding.
The past few weeks have seen the country’s energy crisis escalate, as power utility Eskom again instituted rolling blackouts, reaching stage six at times. “We are looking at alternatives – the ground-breaking alternatives that are still being tested, such as locally-made power walls, etc. We’re busy trying to test it as well.
“But we’re also looking at other technologies in order to support that – whether it’s batteries or generators. Ideally, we don’t want to go the generator route but in some instances we have no choice because we just don’t have space, or are dependent on what the landlord is willing to give us in terms of space for the power we need to provide.
