Cabling conditions in Mpumalanga

Mpumalanga is home to most of South Africa's coal-fired power stations and many collieries, so the Highveld towns of eMalahleni, Middelburg and Secunda use large quantities of mining, industrial and medium-voltage cable. The petrochemical complex at Secunda and steel and ferrochrome works add heavy industrial demand. Highveld storms are severe, with lightning and hail that make surge protection and earthing a priority. In the Lowveld around Mbombela and White River, the climate is warmer and wetter, with citrus and macadamia farms, lodges and growing suburbs. Solar uptake has risen across both regions, and cable theft is a persistent issue on mines and in towns.
