Africa’s power shortages in the past have been a strong hindrance to economic development on the continent and is still one of the biggest brakes for the nations in Africa. The world bank reports that the 48 countries of Sub-Saharan Africa (with a combined population of 800 million) generate roughly the same amount of power as Spain (with a population of 45 million), a single nation in Europe. We know the statistics at this point, and for some it’s an old and tired song that should be put to bed, the whole fact about how Africa has nearly 1 billion people, accounting for over a sixth of the world’s population, but only generating 4% of global electricity. The state of power stations/power plants is an obvious guess given the poor supply of power in Africa, there is a desperate need for Power Plant Operations Maintenance South Africa.
There probably isn’t any other place in the world that needs Power Plant Operations Maintenance South Africa like the second largest continent in the world, Africa. In 2007, The Economist published an article online that referred to Africa as the “dark continent”.
Africa has been experiencing economic growth for many years. Even the poorest rural migrants, once in the city, prize electric lighting and television sets, and millions are leaving their villages. The ubiquitous exodus from huts to houses only adds to the strains. A revolution in the electrical supply or power deficiency in Africa cannot happen over night, but our business is committed to this cause and our client/project history would attest to that. Africa’s relatively healthy economic growth of recent years begets factories and shopping centres, and yet there are still many power cuts. Kenya’s power utility estimates that it adds 12,000 households a month to the national grid. We have been in Sierra Leone with London Mining Company carrying out Power Plant Operations Maintenance South Africa for over three years now. Countries like Liberia are said to have a great humming sound at night because of the many generators that are supplying power to homes.
We believe that our presence in Africa with many projects has given us an advantage in understanding the needs of people, businesses and nations in Africa. We share the burden and want to partner alongside firms with the best possible power generation solutions from initial stages such as Bankable Feasibility Studies, all the way through to EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) and finally Power Plant Operations Maintenance South Africa. Whenever demand goes beyond supply, Africa becomes the dark continent the rest of the world assumes it to be. USP&E Africa’s goal is to provide professional services in Power Plant Operations Maintenance South Africa to help business power forward and see nations in emerging markets developed. The need for power plants EPC and Power Plant Operations Maintenance South Africa is only bound to increase as the demand for power grows. Whenever demand outstrips supply, the lights go out—several times during the writing of this story.
