Alternative ways to stay connected
We use Base Power units to provide standalone power generation for customers as an alternative to maintaining traditional overhead lines where the distance and terrain make it difficult. The units use solar panels and battery storage, along with backup diesel generation to supply customers with safe, reliable and durable power independent of our electricity network. We'll be in touch if we think an off-grid solution is right for you, or you can contact us to find out more.Reliability for remote customers
