Power Outages Present A Real Threat To Business Continuity
Chloride, a European supplier of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems and services, is strongly advising UK businesses to deploy resilient UPS systems in order to protect their mission critical equipment and processes.
Chloride has taken this initiative following worrying reports from CapGemini, which have confirmed the growing fears of the business community regarding power availability, stating that electricity output has fallen by 2.2%, the lowest level in 10 years.
Power cuts are a real and increasingly likely threat to business continuity throughout the UK, due to an ageing energy generation infrastructure and reduced capacity to meet energy demand. During 2007-2008, the National Grid reported over 600 events where transmission circuits were disconnected automatically, or by urgent manual switching.
