As the country's leading electricity supplier, consumers have long been forced to rely on Eskom - despite continuous tariff increases that included a hike of 31% in electricity rates in 2009, and further expected increases in 2010. Load shedding and an increasing demand for power have lost the South African economy billions of Rands, and employment levels are continuously dropping as Eskom battles to meet the capacity demand. This means that prices will once again be raised, forcing consumers to seek alternative energy options such as solar power, batteries and other solutions. Improvements in alternative power sources have ensured that many of these products are more affordable and accessible to consumers, offering the ideal solution to the energy crisis - both on a small scale and a broader scale.
As the leader in alternative power, MLT Drives have/has developed the perfect products to create a sustainable future. We have developed a highly unique and specialised product that offers an affordable and effective source of alternative power.
