We recommend taking early action to reduce the risk of damage to energy supply systems. 

The first step to maintaining the energy efficiency of your business is to conduct an internal energy audit of buildings, processes and systems. The next step is to implement a set of measures that will ensure the stable operation and safety of equipment. 

Here are some of the main steps:

Installation of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS):

• UPSs provide power during short-term outages and allow for proper shutdown of equipment, or ensure that equipment can be properly transitioned to power from a backup generator.
• UPS selection should consider the power and battery life required for your equipment. 

Use of generators:

• Purchasing and installing backup generators can provide power during extended outages.
• Ensure that generators are regularly maintained and tested to ensure they are ready to operate.

Automatic switching systems:

• The installation of automatic transfer systems (ATS) allows for automatic switching to backup power sources without delay.

Preventive maintenance of equipment:

• Regular inspection and maintenance of equipment can help identify and fix potential problems before they occur.
• Incorporate monitoring systems to control the status of equipment in real time.

Voltage stabilizers:

• Installing voltage stabilizers can help protect equipment from power surges that often occur during power restoration.

Implementation of risk management policies and procedures:

• Developing and implementing clear instructions for employees on what to do in the event of a power outage.
• Conduct regular drills and exercises for staff.

Ensure physical protection of equipment:

• Place critical equipment in secure rooms with temperature and humidity control systems.
• Use protective filters to prevent dust and other contaminants.

Data and system backup:

•  Back up data and systems on a regular basis.
• Implement a backup system that automatically saves important data to external media or cloud storage.
