All businesses depend on continues supply of power to their premises. Even outside business hours, there may be a need to have uninterrupted electricity. For instance, cold chain warehouses will need to ensure consistent cooling. Other businesses, such as logistics or airports, operate throughout the night, requiring lighting besides having machines, computers and others powered up.

There are two types of power outages Contmark gets involved in: planned and unplanned. In the first case, a premise may need to be taken off the grid for a number of reasons. For instance, the power supplier may carry out maintenance works on their grid, requiring them to power down. In such a case, where the power outage comes with an pre-alert, a business can take measures to bridge the time when there is no power from the grid. Contmark can deliver power generators to the site and provide electricity.

In contrast, an unplanned outage can pose a big risk to a business. Should the power outage last for prolonged periods, losses can be incurred, risk of injuries persist and uncertainty may result in bad decisions being made. Should your business be highly depended on electricity being available without interruption, it is best to discuss an emergency plan with Contmark. To address this issue, two possible paths can be taken. One is to have a backup generator on site at all time, the other option is to have a contractually guaranteed unit available on short notice should a power outage take place.

Oftentimes, Contmark highlights the importance of standby generators for businesses to prevent disruptions during unexpected power failures. Business owners may not be aware that these options are available to them
