Power outages and load-shedding come as no surprise to the citizens of Pakistan. Whether it’s due to rain, emergency situations, or the daily planned outbreaks, power outages bring the country to a halt.
Unlike Pakistan, developed countries are better prepared to handle such outages and most buildings have backup power system for corporate offices.
Five Reasons Why a Business Needs a Backup Power System
Protects a Business from Power Interruptions
Regretfully, in the present era of heavy dependency on energy and power, the question is not if but when an interruption will occur. Prolonged interruptions can be a significant cause of monetary loss for both corporate offices and the property as a whole.
Because power interruptions are not always anticipated and may not be the consequence of an internal fault. Corporate facility managers must plan in advance for a reliable source of power – to continue the work even in the case of a complete power outage.
Also, it is imperative for a business to make sure that certain crucial systems are always running, such as the hosting services. Not having a backup power system could result in the complete shutdown of such systems which could cause a lot of problems.
Power System Reduces the Risk of Data Loss
Power blackouts are becoming increasingly common. Even the smallest disruptions can be detrimental and can result in the loss of a significant amount of work.
What’s worse? Even if the electricity supply cuts off just for a split second it can result in the loss of unsaved data and corrupt files. This slip in the power supply means loss of the data and files, and a waste of time and productivity.
This can also be incredibly demotivating for employees who put in hours and hours of hard work, and then lost just because of a power outage.
If you are the CEO or head of a company, you would want to ensure that your work never comes to a halt, and it’s not possible without backup power system.
Power System Prevents Damage to Electric Circuits
The risks associated with power outages go well beyond just data and monetary loss. Sudden outages can cause damage to electric circuits in buildings and cause severe damage that requires a significant amount of time and money to fix.
Having backup power for offices can help mitigate this and power shifts/power spikes/dips, and prevent any damage that could otherwise have been caused.
Provides a Temporary Power Solution
It’s a common saying that business doesn’t wait for anyone. Imagine, it’s the middle of the day and there is a massive city-wide power outage. Your customers and clients are waiting for responses but the power supply doesn’t comply.
What now? Nothing.
If such a situation arises, customers and clients can be severely put off due to the lack of professionalism and inconvenience. An office with backup power supplies provides a temporary power solution that guarantees that no customer or client will have to wait.
Power System is a Cost-Effective Strategy
No doubt, there are added monetary costs of installing backup power systems to offices, and buildings that provide these benefits; however, it is definitely worth it. Or else, get ready to spend a lot more to recover the lost data or repair equipment, if damaged during a power outage.
Additionally, the cost of employee, customer, and client satisfaction is unmeasurable; thus, it is of utmost importance to avoid such situations.
Citadel 7, a CDA-approved real estate project by Chakor Ventures provides businesses with the opportunity to make the most of all these benefits provided by backup power systems. It is a new project in Islamabad that understands that load-shedding and city-wide power outages are common in Islamabad. Which makes it all the more important for companies to see this as a real issue. Citadel 7 provides all offices with backup energy resources and power systems, as well as solar energy. This guarantees that load-shedding and power outages will never be a menace for any employee or employer in the building.
